Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality Issues.

Much of the current evidence and many of the recent treatment recommendations for increasing survival from cardiac arrest revolve around improving the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation during resuscitation. A focus on providing treatments proved beneficial and providing these treatments reliably, using measurement, monitoring, and implementation of quality-improvement strategies, will help eliminate variation in outcomes and provide a foundation from which future improvements in resuscitation care can be developed. Using the knowledge and tools available today will help reduce the ambiguity and variability that exists in resuscitation today and provide the ability to save more lives in communities.
