The coroner's concerns
1. delayed defibrillation for shockable rhythm
“Based on LAS statistics the survival rate from cardiac arrest, where there is a shockable rhythm is around 31% when defibrillation occurs; - This is to be contrasted against a survival rate of around 9% for all presenting rhythms; - For every minute of cardiac arrest where a shockable rhythm is present and no defibrillation is carried out, survival decreases by approximately 7-10%”
