Documentation includes the time the code is called,the time CPR is started,any actions that are taken,and the patient's response (e.g.,presence or absence of a pulse,heart rate,blood pressure,cardiac rhythm).Intubation and defibrillation (and the energy used)must be documented,along with the patient's response.The time and sites of IV initiations,types and amounts of fluids administered,and medications given to the patient must be accurately recorded.Rhythm strips are recorded to document events and response to treatment.Signatures of those involved in the code effort,including the recorder,are essential.
