Poster discussion comoderator Christopher J. Dente from Emory University in Atlanta, said the reason the PROXY model performs so well is that it is something that could easily translate from the bedside into a registry and from a registry to a national database, whereas measures like “no signs of life” have to translate from the field to the bedside to the registry and then TQIP.
“The same is true for prehospital cardiac arrest, which you’d think would be a little more tangible, but isn’t necessarily,” Dr. Dente said. “This is incredibly important work.”
Dr. Byrne and his coauthors reported having no financial disclosures.
