Our success rate has increased in Adult sudden Cardiac Arrest from 2% to 38% since we've been involved in this Demonstration. On our end it's easy. 200 compressions in two minutes, apply a Nonrebreather, get IV access, give meds and shock if we see that it is needed during a very short pause in compressions.
With the new Zoll M-series monitor we'll be using pads that allow us to have "look-through" CPR so it filters out our compression rythym and allows to see if we have a shockable state without stopping CPR.
The goals is to increase and keep coranary artery perfusion pressure up as long as possible.

Seems to be working. We are super happy to see the AHA come right out and say "no lip lock".
