Ok. We intitiate it in the field if we get a pulse back and if other citeria is met. The hospital continues on with the protocol unless there are changes to the patient's status.

They are starting something with the field units, will have to ask about it.
They just put out a DVD about CPR talking about Dc Savage who they saved and use of the hypothermia.

Field program is going online as we speak. The added freezers to the ALS units with a iv pack in an insulated kit which is taken out and brought to the scene as needed.
