The NWC EMSS Cardiac Arrest Committee was established in March 2018 to serve as an interested stakeholder group charged with identifying, analyzing, and recommending treatment, evaluation and management of cardiac arrest patients in the NWC EMSS. 

The committee is tasked to review and evaluate cardiac arrest patients’ treatment and care in the NWC EMSS and maintain awareness of new and/or better products for use in the out-of-hospital environment that support or advance the cardiac arrest practice standards and bring these innovations to the Committee for review and study. 

The committee will also study and project innovation attributes, product performance, advantages to patient care,  adoption risks, levels of change required in established behavior patterns; technological  familiarity and fit for the System, and a financial pro forma for increased or decreased direct  and indirect costs that will enable the EMS MD to form a Go/No Go decision.
