Abstract
An estimated 300,000 patients suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest annually; around 8% o these patients survive. For these patients, there is mounting data that demonstrates high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) increases the likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation and neurologically intact survival [1-4]. Despite the importance of high quality CPR, performance of CPR is inconsistent as the delivery requires coordinated teams and a built space to support quality care [5].
In 2015-16, we implemented an iterative, multidisciplinary simulation-based approach to determine the optimal physical layout of the ED resuscitation rooms to improve the resuscitation team's ability to: 1) obtain continuous, real-time feedback on the quality of delivered CPR; 2) quickly identify cardiac rhythm on pulse checks; and 3) identify the team leader. After consensus via survey, we evaluated CPR quality during cardiac resuscitation and determined the influence of the physical layout on CPR quality.
