this is a very good read - i have posted it in previous years they are trying to improve the way that dispatchers give CPR directions per page 46 - bystander CPR had 21% save rate - CPR by first responders had 21% save rate also - but bystander CPR started in 2 minutes but first responder CPR started in 6 minutes - apparently the first responders do the CPR much better or the first responder are shocking people with VF therefore bringing up their save rate - IIRC approx half of CPR cases are VF - half are not - VF saves are like 60% - otherwise it is much lower per page 48 - cops did 84 shocks in 2013 and 2014 they are trying to get software so that hearts can be monitored without stopping CPR ALS turnout time is 4 minutes but BLS turnout time is 1 minute - I DONT GET IT - maybe the calltaker dispatches BLS first and then confirms that ALS is needed before dispatching ALS - but you can see that 20% of ALS cals are cancelled anyhow - so they are way overresponding ALS to calls already dispatch is done in under 1 minute for BLS Seattle has 7 ALS units - city population is 660,000 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
