New Policy - July 2013 - Frederick County Maryland FD - ( possibly are new statewide guidelines )
Cardiac arrest victims will receive 15 minutes of high performance CPR, and other measures (oxygen, shock, and ? drugs) - if no response, patient will be declared dead at scene (because chances of resuscitation are near zero) Exceptions - under 18 years of age - pregnant female - immersion in water or hypothermia (info from their July 2013 newsletter on their website) (no more high speed CPR runs to hospitals) How does this relate to the FDNY use of cooling agents? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
