L.A. County tells paramedics to delay transporting cardiac patients amid coronavirus pandemic

Los Angeles County officials this week ordered paramedics to wait five minutes after reviving someone with cardiac arrest to see if their heart stops again before racing them to the hospital, a policy intended to reduce the number of high-risk patients flooding emergency rooms during the coronavirus pandemic.

The policy, which could apply to 911 patients with heart attacks and drug overdoses, as well as those with COVID-19, instructs first responders to wait and see whether a patient loses heart function again within five minutes after being revived. If so, paramedics will continue CPR in the field until a doctor tells them to stop because it is likely futile. CPR could continue for as long as 40 minutes, according to county officials.

The aim is to keep people who are likely to die out of hospitals, which are expected to soon be overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients as the pandemic worsens. The number of people who have been hospitalized with COVID-19 in L.A. County more than doubled between Monday and Friday.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

"Let Them Die" is a new rule, propagated by the same people who feel that way about old people in general, who might vote the wrong way.

Probably not the intended purpose, but it seems to have shown that LA city and county have over-regulated ambulance services. Not that I think the Land of LA is unique in that respect.

Utter bullshit.  They're clearly putting their thumbs on the scale of who lives and who dies.  Words cannot describe how wrong that is.   9999hair out0000

I personally know two seniors this is happening to. One is a man in his 70s who was supposed to start chemo tomorrow. The doctor told him it’s postponed until the earliest May 1.

This irony is, the Hospital death rates actually go down when they have these delays and moratoriums.
