We continue our 2-hour HP-CPR sessions with local Emergency Departments in South Florida.
Here's the agenda:
1. The What, Why & How of HP-CPR (PPT) (45 min)
2. HP-CPR demo by @DavieFireRescue (15 min)
3. Transfer of Care - In the code room (25 min)
4. Staff practices CPR with feedback manikins (30 min)
➡ Video below
5. Eat @PapaJohns Pizza (5 min 😀)
This is a game changer! DM me for full agenda and PPT slides.
Video Notes:
‣ The compression rate is too fast (dial pinned right)
‣ Full recoil is not obtained
‣ This completely changed after one round of coaching and the addition of a metronome.
Looking forward to interviewing for EMS fellowships?
