Association Between Hospital Resuscitation Champion and Survival for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT: Background Although many hospitals have resuscitation champions, it is unknown if hospitals with very active physician or nonphysician champions have higher survival rates for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Methods and Results We surveyed adult hospitals in Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation about resuscitation practices, including about their resuscitation champion.

The association between a hospital's resuscitation champion type and their quinti
