Feasibility of accelerated code team activation with code button triggered smartphone notification

Endovascular aortic occlusion improves return of spontaneous circulation after longer periods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A translational study in pigs

“…During in-hospital NTCA, physicians typically arrive 2–5 mins after cardiac arrest. 30 , 31 , 32 By contrast, patient arrival to Emergency Department after out-of-hospital NTCA ranges from 20 to 45 minutes. 33 , 34 While these scenarios are complicated by varying downtimes, initiation of bystander CPR, etc., they represent a realistic delay in provider arrival before advanced interventions such as REBOA can be placed.…”

The Latest in Resuscitation Research: Highlights From the 2022 American Heart Association’s Resuscitation Science Symposium

“…Dr Cody Couperus (University of Maryland) and his team sought to accelerate the time to code team activation and increase early distribution of patient‐specific data with a smartphone‐driven messaging system. 32 By mapping code blue buttons behind each patient bed to patient data, they sent patient‐specific data through a secure text messaging system to the code blue teams' smartphones, reducing the time to code team activation by over 1 minute.…”
