 Only 15-30 of patients who suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest IHCA survive to hospital discharge. Factors associated with lower mortality and improved function include provision of high-quality, minimally-interrupted chest compressions and swift defibrillation of eligible arrhythmias. Unfortunately, resuscitation teams provide suboptimal care to 25-40 of IHCA victims. A dedicated IHCA team copilot may improve resuscitation team performance by providing the team leader with parallel analysis, situational awareness augmentation, action checking, protocol verification, and error correction. Critical care physician involvement via a telemedicine link could allow experienced specialists to fill the copilot role in a cost and resource-efficient manner, particularly in smaller hospitals with fewer available physicians.
