Too much pulmonary blood flow and we will see well-oxygenated blood ( SpO2 >85% ) but insufficient systemic blood flow (pallor/mottling, cool peripheries, delayed capillary refill time, weak pulses, hypotension, narrow pulse pressure) and hypoxia (lactic acidosis). This is the most nuanced aspect.

Consider skin-to-skin on Mum’s chest to keep an otherwise well baby warm. Don’t forget that every ambulance has a maternity kit with bunny rugs, surgical gown, umbilical cord clamps, nappy, tiny warm hat… Consider reducing the risk of hypothermia by working inside the ambulance, and warming the vehicle, particularly in winter.

In total, he received approximately 40 minutes of CPR and 7 defibrillation attempts. The patient received therapeutic hypothermia at 33 degrees C for 24 hours. He has been asymptomatic and doing well since. Tracings using both 25 mm/second and 50 mm/second recording speeds — as well as Cabrera and other formats will be posted.

In fact, 4000 paramedics in total were not only trained in the study protocol but also given a rigorous evaluation of their ability to perform CPR. On the topic of EMS and similar to the pilot study, there was an incredibly high amount of bystander CPR performed. Thus limiting the external validity of this paper’s findings.
