Interim Law Enforcement Guidance for Cardiac-Respiratory Arrest Resuscitation with Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19

We have been working to develop guidance for our region regarding CPR during the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Last week, the American Heart Association along with seven other medical societies issued Interim Guidance, and as it recommends, we used their expert guidance and modified it for our region.  These materials focus on reducing provider exposure, while prioritizing goals of care and appropriateness of resuscitation.

The AHA Interim Guidance is available here:  https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.120.047463
