Two factors to cardiac arrest survivability that have been clearly shown to make the biggest difference is continuous high quality CPR and early defibrillation. The most common dysrhythmia present during the first few minutes of cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation. The chance of successful defibrillation decreases every minute that passes. How our chance of successfully defibrillating a patient into a perfusing rhythm significantly changes when good CPR is delivered vs when it isn't. Examples of in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes when CPR is performed until defibrillation vs defibrillation without CPR. The role of the CPR coach. Five tips to aid us in limiting CPR interruptions to less than 10 seconds so we can maintain a chest compression fraction (CCF) of at least 80%.Connect with me:Website: https://passacls.com@PassACLS on Twitter@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedIn
