    Patient Safety Learning

    Posted

    Hi There,

    I think this is true for all hospitals.  Chest compressions are classed as an aerosoled treatment, so poses a high risk of transmission to the attender.  Please see the updated guidance by the resuscitation council UK .

    It is not that doctors are being told not to perform CPR, they are being told to wear the correct PPE before they commence CPR.  This may cause a delay in CPR, this also highlights the importance of discussing treatment escalation plans with patients and their families.

    Please also see @Ken Spearpoint blog -
