Abstract
The Resuscitation team has been using audio-visual CPRfeedback pads in a limited number of adult cardiac arrest cases but their overall impact on clinical practice has not yet been evaluated. In this context, a PACE (Promote, Act, Change with Evidence) group was formed to determine whether the pads improve practice enough to justify their costs and wider roll out or whether they should be discontinued to reduce extra spending and clinical time.The results indicated an improvement in the odds of ROSC(Return of Spontaneous Circulation) and survival to discharge in adults cardiac arrest patients. The project demonstrated how a straightforward, evidence-based approach can effectively inform changes to clinical practice. It was valuable learning experience for both the Resus team and the clinical librarians involved.
