A question just popped into my head so I figured i would hop on here and get some feedback on it.
It seems that restricting oxygen is getting more and more popular for cardiac arrest and ROSC patient. Some services around here are going to non-re breathers and not bagging the patient at all during cardiac arrest.
So I was hoping I could get a few people around here that are currently trying out cardio cerebral resuscitation and other new forms of resuscitation if they think the whole pre-oxygenate/hyperventilate before intubation is going to be removed from the intubation sequence.
I enjoy reading these new articles about post cardiac outcome and how restricting oxygen (SAO2 of 94%) and induced hypothermia has made a big impact on the survival rate.
I live and work in a very rural area with a population of 3000 and the nearest hospital 25 minutes away. so we don't get many codes, and we NEVER get to try out the "cutting edge" in EMS care.
