- HFH MICU will start TTM for patients after PEA and asystolic (nonshockable) arrests who otherwise meet criteria on July 15, 2019
- Initially, this will apply to inhouse arrests and out of house arrests that reach the MICU within the TTM window; The ED will start TTM for out of hospital nonshockable rhythms in the near future
- These patients will be cared for in the MICU (no expected increase in patient number as these patients would go to MICU anyway)
- Patients with vfib/pulseless vtach arrests who meet criteria will continue to receive TTM; these patients should have a cardiology consult and provider discussion regarding transfer to P5 (CVICU)
- Patients with seizures s/p arrest should have a neuro critical care consult and be transferred to the 6W (neuroICU) if beds are available
