Objective: We sought to identify changes in neurological outcome over time following initial training and subsequent implementation of team-focused CPR in an inpatient setting where responders practice specific roles with emphasis on minimally interrupted chest compressions and early defibrillation.
Methods: This retrospective pre- vs post-intervention study was conducted at an urban 900-bed teaching hospital and Level I Cardiac Resuscitation Center. We included adult patients suffering in-hospital cardiac arrest occurring in non-emergency department and non-intensive care unit areas who received CPR and/or defibrillation.
