Challis-Morrison, S. (2008). Management and guidance of patient resuscitations within secondary rural hospitals. In Jean Ross (Ed.), Rural nursing: Aspects of practice (pp. 111-122). [Dunedin]: Rural Health Opportunities.
Abstract: This chapter firstly offers background information relating to the management and guidance of resuscitation within secondary rural hospitals. Secondly, it discusses the evidence related to issues concerning resuscitation and not-for-resuscitation, including issues involving medical and nursing staff, the patient experience, appropriate documentation, and cultural factors. Thirdly, it presents the findings through an implementation and evaluation plan.

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.

Abstract: Describes the initiative at Wellington Regional Hospital to upskill ward nurses with non-invasive ventilation training as part of the pro-active response in anticipation of COVID-19 patients. Backgrounds the circumstances and practicalities of creating, teaching, and training advanced skills (non-invasive ventilation education) to ward nurses with limited respiratory experience.
