Improving Outcomes In Cardiac Arrest Management: Strategies For Collaboration Between Paramedic, Emergency, And Pharmacy Technicians

Abstract

Despite ongoing advances in resuscitation science, cardiac arrest survival rates remain suboptimal. Response to cardiac arrest is affected by several factors, including data collection, research infrastructure, public and professional training and education, program evaluation, accountability, and civic and community leadership.  Collaboration strategies between different disciplines, including paramedic, emergency, and pharmacy technicians, are needed to reduce the public burden of cardiac arrest. A mo[1]re cohesive and coordinated approach is required to enhance public education, training, and advocacy across all communities and healthcare settings. Sustained support for continuing basic, clinical, and translational research related to cardiac arrest is necessary to generate more effective treatment protocols and care paradigms based on evidence.
