'next time we see a patient having a cardiac arrest'
Keep up! Prevention is a key part of the Plan, we will not behaving cardiac arrests!
If only this purported prevention was EBM. A RCT is sales patter not real life evidence.
"Train to Task" sounds like just _begging_ for this scenario to happen. Continually. Everywhere:
"Right, we need to do [x] for this patient
- But I'm not trained for that task
- Can't you just do it?
- Well, I know how to, but I haven't had the official training...
- OK, good enough, let's go!
[enter management, and insurers, and lawyers...]
- Hold on! Are you seriously letting this person do something they're _not trained for_???????
[endless discussion...]
