How Medical Facilities Can Boost Recovery Rates: 4 Proven Methods

,
The number of patients that are “readmitted” to the hospital isn’t just a financial metric, it’s a powerful indicator of how well patients are recovering after discharge. For hospitals and clinics, improving patient outcomes starts with identifying potential gaps in care and equipping staff...

Does CPR Duration Matter? Understanding the Impact of Prolonged Resuscitation

,
Historically, resuscitation efforts were frequently halted after a certain duration if spontaneous circulation was not achieved. But in recent years, emerging studies suggest that longer resuscitation efforts may improve outcomes in select cases. Let's explore the evidence behind prolonged CPR and how mechanical CPR devices can support...
