Quick question. What do you consider a save? If the patient is - TopicsExpress



          

Quick question. What do you consider a save? If the patient is alive when you transfer care to the ED staff and then the PT codes on them and they call it do you consider it a save since you did your part? In this case we worked a 61 year old man, unwitnessed arrest, CPR initiated by wife. En route to the hospital we brought him back 3 times. Once we arrived at the hospital he had a pulse and when we transferred him to the ED staff he had a pulse until he coded 30 minutes later on them and they called it. Is it a save if you get him to the hospital or is it only a save if he walks out of the hospital?
