This analysis of a training program in hospital-based identification of clinical deterioration and resuscitation found that most cardiopulmonary arrest events can be reliably classified by the study team's novel taxonomy into 1 of 12 clinical entities. The authors suggest that using this taxonomy can better elucidate the effects of interventions to improve outcomes of cardiopulmonary arrest in inpatient settings.

This survey found that paramedics who committed medication errors typically conveyed them to in-house authorities and that 4% of the errors revealed in charts and radio contact logs were not reported. 

The researchers surveyed paramedics and found that 9% made medication errors in the past year and that unfamiliarity with the drug, dosage mistakes, and a lack of triple checks played a role in the incidents.
