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.
Do you know the time to defibrillation within your institution
for the critical care units, and more importantly the general
care units, hallways where patients are transported and ambulatory
care clinics? Is defibrillation routinely delivered within 3 minutes
from time of collapse (the American Heart Association gold standard)?
Have you instituted a system whereby first responders in all areas
can perform the first three links in the chain of survival while
they are waiting for the CPR team to arrive? With the availability
of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), staff who are not
trained to read ECG rhythms can quickly and competently deliver
a shock to those patients in cardiac arrest who have VF. Read
