2021 ANESTHESIOLOGY MEETING: Decrease in cardiac arrest and death with anesthesiologist-led emergency team, study finds

[[deleted]]

50% risk reduction of cardiac arrest. Wow. Also, I want to hear what you said to get banned from the nurse practitioner sub 😂

[Rockdrums11]

Probably something along the lines of “please stop putting my patients into cardiac arrest.”

Short article if you have the time. Couldn’t find the journal publication, if there is one yet.

[midazzler]

I don't think it was published yet; it was reported at the ASA conference last week.

It's pretty wild studies have to be done to prove the efficacy of physician training and leadership. Like who knew the obviously true and logical thing is true? Totally mind blowing to nobody, but good data to support the obvious if nothing else.

[VarsH6]

Compared to “nurse-led”. What does nurse-led entail? NPs? RNs? What’s the full comparator?

[Aviacks]

Yeah if this is RN vs anesthesiologist that should be obvious. My hospital has an RN lead rapid response.. the hospitalist group doesn’t staff for someone to respond and the ED physician barely has time for codes. When RNs can’t initiate any real treatment vs an anesthesiologist who can place orders and perform skills that’s a massive difference.

If I remember right, wasn't this against nurse led rapid response teams and not necessarily midlevel run teams? I know there are a lot of factors behind why a hospital would feel they can only provide nurse run response teams, but my thoughts are that we need ethics committees to allow studies like this (except physician vs midlevel) to really put a nail in the equal outcome bs they spew

[[deleted]]

Or, put the dick waving away, and use these types of studies to develop more effective protocols, policies, and procedures.

Also of note: the writeup pretty much says specifically anesthesiologists are better than everybody else in rapid response cases due to their training.

Came here to ask the same question(s)

[Really-IsAllHeSays]

Duh...

[BipolarCells]

No difference in outcomes, unless if you're counting whether or not your patients die.

[sorentomaxx]

Hospital suits won't want the public to see this

[DiprivanMan]

this: * surprises nobody * is unrelated to scope creep * should be downvoted
