Postman has 3 "saves". Glad he was in area and able to help these people.
Personally I don't count "saves" because then I have to accept blame for everyone that dies. But this report brought to mind a claim that I say is BS on what seems a high number of "saves" where patient left hospital able to function close to condition prior to code.
So how many patients have you gotten ROSC (Return Of Spontaneous Circulation ) and patient survived to discharge in a functional manner? Whats the most you have heard of from reliable source for a prehospital provider? Again I am calling a "save" a ROSC with discharge from hospital where patient still has a functionable life, can do most of what they did prior to coding. Note I did not say quality as that is open to interpretation.
