definitely true. As a QA/QI coordinator for a service in AZ I review

numerous PCR's using the CCR approach and results are amazing. I won't be

surprised if more services around the country start their own studies.

Now, don't read more into that than what I said. I only mean that a

supraglottic airway is quick and easy to insert, more quickly than an

ET intubation, WHEN THE TIME COMES TO DO IT. <<<

I agree with you. That is twice within a few weeks.

Either you are getting more reasonable or I am becoming more

>> I am puzzled. How does the CCR protocol differ from the AHA 2005

standards? <<<

The 2005 guidelines are not well defined; there is a lot of " . . .it

is reasonable to consider. . . " in the minutia. The Arizona folks

just provided a concrete example of all the " book stuff " that many

overlook when they both attend and teach an ACLS class.

There are many things within the meat of the text that were

recommendations but were never implemented. Back when endotracheal

administration of drugs was in favor, I never saw anyone give them in

the recommended way.

Therapeutic hypothermia was recommended over four years ago and very

few hospital or EMS systems have implemented the strategy. Some old

timers still want to give bicarb to every cardiac arrest.

To the brain trust on this list, it may not seem that the Arizona

folks did anything spectacular. But the masses in the synaptic void

will be amazed.
