Dear All,

 

There is an over- riding doctrine in LAW... the duty to preserve and safe guard life- (UK and ECHR)

I am not aware of any case (law) where those with such responsibilities  being sanctioned for performing this duty. To the contrary- there are volumes on death and negligence.

Focus on the skills and successful outcomes of CPR rather than debates- keep good clinical notes- Courts are not nice places !!!
