Nurse Educator Nicole Kupchik was in the Physio-Control Learning Center at NTI 2013 talking about the importance of high quality CPR and code management in the hospital setting. She’s passionate about improving cardiac arrest outcomes among the inpatient community. There have been no significant statistical improvement in outcomes despite major research advances and improvements in outcomes from the pre-hospital sector. Nurses can do better. Check out what Nicole has to say about it.
Dale Becker gave his system a renewed vigor in their approach to CPR and because of this, Dale has given people back their lives through the efforts of the EMTs and paramedics in the Howard County, Maryland EMS system. His EMS crews stay focused on what is important about resuscitation, high quality compressions with fewer and shorter interruptions and early defibrillation when appropriate. They avoid getting distracted by all of the other events and tasks that might be happening during a cardiac arrest. EMS Garage Host, Chris Montera, interviews Dale at EMS Today 2013 about the improvements and innovations in his system.
