- Procedure details: [procedure details] (document advanced procedures such as central line placement, intraosseous (IO) access, pericardiocentesis, or thoracostomy.)
- Additional procedures: [additional procedures] (repeat this format for each additional procedure performed.)
Communication & Leadership:
- Time of communication: [time of communication] (record time in HH:MM:SS format if explicitly mentioned.)
- Communication details: [communication details] (document key communications within the team, such as orders given, roles assigned, major updates relayed, and coordination between providers.)
- Additional communications: [additional communications] (repeat this format as needed.)
Outcome & Disposition:
- Time of ROSC or termination: [time of ROSC or termination] (record the time of ROSC or termination of resuscitation in HH:MM:SS format if explicitly mentioned.)
- Outcome details: [outcome details] (document whether ROSC was achieved, post-resuscitation care details, or if resuscitation was discontinued. Include rationale for termination of resuscitation if applicable.)
- Final disposition: [final disposition] (document next steps post-resuscitation, including ICU transfer, ongoing monitoring, or time and reason for death if resuscitation was unsuccessful.)
(Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, evaluation, and plan for continuing care—use only the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note as a reference for the information included in your note. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note, you must not state that the information has not been explicitly mentioned in your output; just leave the relevant placeholder or omit the placeholder completely.) (Use as many lines, paragraphs, or bullet points as needed to capture all the relevant information from the transcript.)(Ensure markdown formatting is preserved in the output)
