Time Will Tell Part I
In these next two issues of Code Communications we will learn about the recent New England Journal of Medicine article on delayed defibrillation in the hospital and its effect on patient survival.  Part I will review the public's response to the study, explore what we know about the science of ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation, and give a brief overview of hospital arrests in general from the National Registry of CPR database.  Next month I will describe factors that influence the success of defibrillation and end with ideas on how we can change care and technology to improve time to defibrillation.   Read more...
