How is a resuscitation ran in the ED?

[Mateo_1387]

From what I've seen of cardiac arrests in many different hospitals they are not too much different than what we do in the field. I have seen one team shock asystole. But as far as running the code it is about the same. especially where I am we have the same meds that the hospital will push. we do the same cpr the hospital does. thats why codes are worked onscene, its much safer, more effective, and we have a very high resuscitation rate. Never did understand the logic of risking lives running emergency traffic for a dead person..........

But again I've not really seen a difference. the only think I could think of that would be different is for a trauma code the hospital can give blood, and do other evasive procedures we can't in a rig.
