Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Management of Patients With Cardiac Arrest Requiring Interfacility Transport: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Maintaining otherwise recommended postresuscitation care during interfacility transfer is reasonable: airway, vascular access, ventilator management, sedation, cardiopulmonary monitoring, antiarrhythmic treatments, BP control, temperature control and metabolic management.
Patient stability for transfer, equity and inclusion, and communication must also be considered.
Many of these aspects can be delivered by protocol-driven care.
