The following key points were covered in this module:

1. Purpose of the ROC PRIMED Trial is to compare the outcomes of cardiac arrest therapies.

2. Analyze EARLY means — do CPR for at least 30 seconds then analyze.

3. Analyze LATE means — do CPR for 3 minutes then analyze.

4. New CPR standards include DVD-R:

Depth	Hard at 1½ to 2 inches
Ventilations	1 second duration; enough to make the chest rise
Decompression	Complete recoil
Rate	Fast (100/min); minimize interruptions

5. For the ITD to be effective you must:

• Maintain a continuous face seal at all times — even when not ventilating
• Compress the chest a full 1½ to 2 inches
• Let the chest recoil completely during decompression

6. Inclusion criteria

• Local age of consent
• Non-traumatic cardiopulmonary arrest outside of hospital

7. Exclusion criteria

• Do not attempt resuscitation orders
• Blunt or penetrating trauma
• Burns
• Obvious death (and no resuscitation attempted)
• Known prisoners
• Known or suspected pregnancy
