Background: High quality CPR and early defibrillation are the cornerstones of improving outcomes in cardiac arrest.  We know that prolonged duration of pauses during chest compressions affect hemodynamics, shock conversion rates and ultimately survival [2].  Therefore, it is paramount to reduce hands-off time during chest compressions. A potential next step to reduce hands-off time might … Continue reading Pre-Charging the Defibrillator Before Rhythm Checks in Cardiac Arrest
