Two recent interventions have proven in randomized trials to improve neurologic survival in cardiac arrest: 1) the combination of the ResQPod and the ResQPump (suction device for compression-decompression CPR -- Lancet 2011 ) and 2) Dual Sequential defibrillation.

High levels of incivility correlate with adverse outcomes for patients, staff, and the organisation. A third RCT demonstrated that even brief low-level incivility could increase the risk of major error during CPR by up to 66%. 2011 Apr 1;78(2):202-9. They underestimated the impact of this exposure.

Case: You are the medical director of an EMS system in a large city deciding on whether to respond to all out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) with ACLS capabilities, or if resources should be directed to those candidates for extracorporeal CPR. Bystander high-quality CPR can buy you some time until defibrillation. vs. 5.1%, p=0.83).
