Cardiac Arrest Quality Improvement: A Single-Center Evaluation of Resuscitations Using Defibrillator, Feedback Device, and Survey Data

Incorporating handheld feedback and backboards improved chest compressions quality. Further work to improve the frequency of device use and to examine their relationship to patient-specific outcomes is needed. Study is needed to find interventions that improve other teamwork metrics, inclusion of family during the resuscitation, referral for tissue donation, and rates of postevent debriefing.
