In-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs) are complex clinical scenarios requiring effective communication and teamwork. This study assessed the impact of a bundled, multicomponent intervention to empower telemetry technicians and improve communication between telemetry technicians and other clinicians during in-hospital cardiac arrest. After bundle implementation, researchers observed improvements in IHCA survival.
