The Resuscitation Recipe

The importance of a 'resuscitation recipe' Ho, ho, ho! After completing a practice run to prepare for my annual trek across the world on Christmas Eve-something I do to ensure I don't miss any homes and to get the reindeer in shape for the long journey-I sat down to debrief with my reindeer and elves. The trial run turned out to be a good opportunity to test out the new oscillating red LED nose that Rudolph had implanted in the off- season, and the micro-drones we'll be deploying to speed up the delivery of gifts this year. At the postflight meeting, I asked my hardworking reindeer to load up lots of presents that I want to give EMS systems to use as soon as possible; things like: citizen alert software, CPR feedback devices, end-tidal CO2 monitors, airway assistance devices, mechanical CPR devices and some compact extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) devices for EDs, aeromedical services and forward-thinking hospital/ prehospital response systems. I also asked the elves to mark multiple addresses to ensure the delivery of extra cookies and gifts to EMS agencies and personnel who have truly excelled in their resuscitation research, clinical work and operational changes.
