Emergency Medicine Residency Program, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario
CJEM 10:333-8. 2008..We sought to determine whether the use of currently issued gowns delays initiation of chest compressions and ventilations during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and whether simple gown modifications can reduce this delay... - Validation of a rule for termination of resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrestLaurie J Morrison
