New infographic from @ResusCouncilUK on resuscitation of #COVID19 patients in hospital. #paramedic and #ambulance colleagues take note. Hospital walls are no barrier to #COVID19 , we need to follow this guidance too. JRCALC update to follow. FULL PPE before starting CPR

@heli_med_james @ResusCouncilUK I agree @heli_med_james , the principles are sound. What about in the community when COVID-19 has not been diagnosed. Are you aware of any guidelines for clinicians in this context? Do we use this PPE/varied treatment for all cardiac arrests?
