What is really interesting is doing CPR when a person/patient has full monitoring on.
It is quite informative to watch people slavishly adhere to the 'recommendations' of the day when you have an arterial blood pressure monitor, and can actually see what effect your attempts at chest compressions are having in terms of circulation...
Anyway, enough specialised chatter....
Art lines tracings are cracking aren't they - you can really see how feeble a 5 foot girly HCAs chest compressions are at 60BPM compared to a strapping bloke at 100bpm!

I know of several instances where its worked.
I can't see the coroner critisizing it.
