“CPR-rescue could not be carried out in the ambulance”
“Paramedics in Västernorrland could not perform cpr on a patient during the journey in the summer, because the staff has not reached out when they were wearing a seat belt.”
“the Patient died, according to a deviation that Sundsvalls Tidning reports.”
“In another deviation, it appears that cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed on another patient during the process, with the danger for the staff, which then were secured with a seat belt. According to the reporter, this also results in contradictory treatment guidelines to staff are put in ethical dilemmas.”
“Now, the region has purchased new equipment, which enables staff to perform cpr, even if they themselves are sitting strapped.”
