Address the team member immediately During a resuscitation attempt, the leader or a member of a high-performance team may need to intervene if an action that is about to occur may be inappropriate at the time. Here, we briefly review the literature on the outcomes of IHCA in the COVID-19 era. Constructive interven-tion is necessary but should be done tactfully. ventilation and they are also responsible. A 45-year-old man had coronary artery stents placed 2 days ago. The Role of Team Leader. When all team members know their jobs and responsibilities, the team functions more smoothly. Resuscitation teams at top-performing hospitals demonstrated the following features: dedicated or designated resuscitation teams; participation of diverse disciplines as team members during IHCA; clear roles and responsibilities of team members; better communication and leadership during IHCA; and in-depth mock codes. It is unlikely to ever appear again. The complexity of advanced resuscitation requires a systematic and highly organized set of assessments and treatments that: In this lesson, you'll learn about how these high-functioning teams operate, including a breakdown of the individual roles and responsibilities for each. And using equipment like a bag valve mask or more advanced airway adjuncts as needed. As the team leader, when do you tell the chest compressors to switch?
