Henry, P. (2001). 'Coming home safely : a successful transition from hospital to home' : Margaret May Blackwell Study Fellowship for Nurses of Young Children, Nursing Education Research Foundation. Margaret May Blackwell Travel Study Fellowship Reports. Auckland: Nursing Education and Research Foundation (NERF). Abstract: Investigates programmes to facilitate the transition to home for babies who have had lengthy admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Provides an overview of the transition services at four sites visited in the US and Canada. Highlights the common elements among all four programmes and identifies the components of quality transition services. Evaluates their clinical effectiveness. Part of the Margaret May Blackwell Scholarship Reports series.

MacIvor, K. (2012). Critical Elements of Pre-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Available through NZNO library, (19), 9–17. Abstract: Baker et al., (2008) showed diminished rates of survival in the CPR-first group. Based largely on the evidence of the two Australian RCTs, the 2010 ILCOR guidelines removed the recommendation for CPR first, stating that 'there is inconsistent evidence to support or refute a delay in defibrillation to provide a period (90 s to 3 min) of CPR for patients in VF/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) cardiac arrest' (ILCOR, 2010, p. e6).\n For this reason, and due to the increased chance of accidental defibrillation, it is the recommendation of the author that it only be used by health professionals who are able practise on a regular basis.
