Protocols Update


Recommended Posts

We had the ITD's removed from the car's months ago. We were involved in the study that docharris quoted and the doctors spoke to us often and we recieved feedback on individual cases.

In general, the consensus was that while ROSC's increased, survival to discharge did not. Ergo, more money wasted on transports, ICU beds, etc without a meaningful result for patients returning home with a "quality of life".

Good to know that they paid attention to your opinions. The bottom line SHOULD be survival to discharge with the only exception I can think of being cases of possible organ donation.

It's not really a "save" in my book unless the person is able to shake you hand later to thank you, although I agree that rarely happens. Anything else is prolonging the inevitable.
