Delivery (of a shock) in two minutes or less

Assessing and improving cardiac arrest response times

Delivery (of a shock) in two minutes or less Recent research has found that hospitalized patients with ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia don't always receive defibrillation within the recommended window, and that the delay has a detrimental effect on outcomes and survival. Cardiologists and other experts trying to improve these times say that hospitalists are in the perfect spot to take charge of the problem and lead improvement efforts.
