"ABSTRACT TITLE: Improving Time to Defibrillation
Background: Providence St. Vincent Medical Center (PSVMC) Medical Surgical units are not meeting the American Heart Association requirement of less than 3 minutes to defibrillation. Time to defibrillation in codes with shockable rhythms averages 4.2 minutes. In Mock Codes, only one met the time less than 3 minutes; four Mock Codes had times over 5 minutes. Resuscitation Quality Improvement CPR (RQI) training is required quarterly. Defibrillator practice with overall Code Blue competency is annual.
Purpose: Combine the hands-on practice of the defibrillator with the hands-on training for RQI.
Methods: The Medical Surgical unit 6 …

Background
Despite guidelines supporting FFR/iFR to guide PCI, these modalities remain underutilized. We sought to characterize factors associated with FFR/iFR use in patients undergoing index PCI for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD).
Methods
ICD-9/10 codes were used to identify patients undergoing PCI and receiving FFR/iFR for an ACS (n=1,042,896) or SIHD (n=255,213) in a Medicare claims database from Jan. 1, 2013-June 30, 2018. Patients with functional/anatomical testing were excluded (5d prior in ACS; 60d prior in SIHD). Individuals with FFR/iFR performed 1-60 days prior to PCI were also excluded to limit analysis to non-staged …
