Innovations in Patient Care


Improving Hospital CPR and ECG Recognition for Nurses

July 31, 2014

Hi and welcome back to another episode of Innovations in Patient Care, I’m your host, Jamie Davis.


This episode is sponsored through the generous support of Physio-Control. Find out more about how they are helping health care professionals innovate and improve outcomes in health care at Physio-Control.com or look for them on Facebook and twitter.


This week on the show, I bring you two special interview segments from the NTI 2014 conference in Denver. This annual conference for critical care nurses features some of the best and brightest in healthcare professionals and companies. In the first segment, I interview critical care nurse educator Barb Furry while she takes a break from her sessions in the Physio-Control University booth. Barb talks to me about the importance of cardioverting with confidence and nurses improving their comfort with taking and reading multi-lead ECGs.


Next up is a segment with another critical care nurse educator, Nicole Kupchik. Nicole is another of the excellent Physio-Control University educators. She talks about what nurses need to do to improve resuscitation rates in the hospital setting including getting back to basics on CPR and basic rhythm recognition. Check it out.


That is going to wrap of this segment and episode of Innovations in Patient Care. Stay tuned for more segments from the top health care, EMS and nursing conferences this year as we continue to focus on ways that healthcare professionals just like you are providing innovative care and improving patient outcomes all the time.
