Resuscitation Quality Improvement: Improving Clinicians’ Performance
Each year in the U.S., more than 600,000 people experience cardiac arrest, with approximately 290,000 occurring in the hospital. Although CPR renewal occurs every 2 years, the quality of CPR ...
Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI®) HeartCode Complete® Program Improves Chest Compression Rate in Real World Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival remains low at approximately 10% in the United States. High-quality CPR is one of the most important factors in improving survival. The RQI HeartCode Complete ...
Initial implementation of the resuscitation quality improvement program in emergency department of a teaching hospital in China
Globally, there is an increasing need to improve survival after cardiac arrest, with the survival rate of OHCA in China being less than 1% compared to 12% in the USA ...
