CPR-induced consciousness: a patient who grimaces, opens their eyes, and moves during cardiac arrest, with no pulse of their own. It happens when high-quality chest compressions perfuse the brain well enough to produce arousal, so it’s a marker your CPR is effective. The prehospital priority is recognising it early and escalating, because the analgesia and sedation used to manage it — fentanyl, ketamine, midazolam — sit within critical care scope, not standard paramedic practice. One absolute from Resus Council UK guidance: never a paralytic alone. We also have 1x live webinar coming up in June. 1️⃣ Optimising prehospital resuscitation Comment “webinar” If you’re an NQP or about to become one we’ve put together an NQP guide Comment “stuck” Learn.
