EMS Pits Crews | Should A Yellow Flag Be Waved?

June 28, 2012 by Jim Hoffman 2 Comments
Tweet

You may have heard of the EMS Pit Crew. The popular model is when this is utilized during cardiac arrest calls and each EMS crew member has assigned role. Can this improve outcomes, avoid scene confusion and be the future of cardiac arrest and even patient management in EMS? Or should we be putting up that yellow flag and take a closer look at this model?

Joined by Bob Sullivan and Tim Noonan, we discuss the pros and cons of having these assigned roles. Be sure to comment below and give your take on the EMS Pit Crew.
