Putting it all together: important links between team performance and CPR quality

Chest compression quality directly impacts patient outcomes from cardiac arrest; thus, ensuring high quality delivery is a crucial component of code team management.1 While evidence-based resuscitation guidelines emphasize CPR quality and health professionals are broadly trained in these skills, performance gaps persist in actual practice, including long pauses in compression delivery.2,3 Teamwork and care coordination during cardiac arrest also has been demonstrated to have an influence on CPR quality.
