OK, so I noticed that my E-series Zoll printed out an elongated waveform of the capnography wave. The screen is accurate, but the printout is elongated due to the speed of the printer (prints to the speed of the ECG). In my opinion this is a BIG OOPS, after all that printout is what you will have in court. The printed "shark fin", is a shark fin at all. After investigating, I found that not one other person had noticed this problem and I actualy found that LP does the same thing, even the newest greatest LP 15. What are your thought?

I have been asking my coworkers the same question I am asking all of you. I have gotten mixed answers and all have provided reasons for why they would have or would not have worked this full code. I look forward to your input.

Bottom Line: Yes

This patient dose NOT meet the criteria for obvious death in my area. PEA can be the result of many things, some of which can be fixed. I would hate to think I didn't do everything for a young patient, such as this.
