Welcome to Code Communications,
ZOLL's Online Newsletter for hospital clinicians interested in
the field of resuscitation. Each month we will explore a new topic
in the field with an emphasis on practical solutions or changing
practice and improving outcomes.
Is defibrillation routinely delivered within 3 minutes
from time of collapse (the American Heart Association gold standard)
in areas outside the critical care units? Have you made automated
external defibrillators (AEDs) available so that Basic Life Support
trained first responders can perform early defibrillation while
awaiting the CPR team? If not, it's time for your hospital to
select the AED that would work best in your environment. This
article will recommend a process for choosing the AED and also
describe quality characteristics to consider. Read
