How long do paramedics work on a person before declaring then dead?
For all patients who do not meet the criteria for determining death outlined in the Determination of Death Policy, every effort should be made to resuscitate the patient. However, studies have shown that rapid transport for in-hospital resuscitation after unsuccessful prehospital advanced cardiac life support rarely if ever results in survival to hospital discharge. Additionally, the risks associated with high-speed transport may outweigh the extremely small likelihood of benefit.As a result, the Medical Direction Team has established the following set of guidelines that prehospital providers can use to terminate a resuscitation effort in the field. Field deaths not covered by this policy require assessment by a transporting paramedic and consultation with the base hospital physician for determination of death.During the initial resuscitation effort, EMS personnel or appropriate fire/rescue personnel will inform the family of the progress of the resuscitative efforts and possible implementation of this policy. If any family member or responsible party indicates their objection to the termination of resuscitation efforts in the field, the resuscitation will continue and the patient will be transported.Terminating Resuscitation Efforts in the FieldThe paramedic may terminate all resuscitation efforts when ALL of the following criteria are met:a. Patient is an adult (greater than 18 years of age)b. Patient must have had a presumed primary cardiac arrestc. Patient should have an appropriately placed advanced airway device confirmed by methods discussed in Airway Management in the Treatment Guidelines including capnography, as well as patent IV access and must have advanced life support measures applied throughout the initial resuscitation effort.d. On scene resuscitation efforts by paramedics will be sustained for a minimum of 20 minutes regardless of the previous CPR time and the arrest interval. Time begins with paramedic initiation of ALS care (IV, Advanced airway).e. In the event the patient arrest in the presence of EMS personnel, the time of on scene advanced resuscitation efforts by paramedics will be extended to 30 minutes.Termination of field resuscitative efforts should not occur:In any patient less than 18 years of age.If the patient is visibly pregnantThe patient whose cardiac arrest MAY BE associated with hypothermia, hyperthermia, drug overdose, toxicological exposures, airway obstruction or electrocution).Patient is a victim at a crime scene or is in police custody.When the arrest has occurred in a crowded public setting, excluding patients in nursing homes or extended care facilities.Scene situations place EMS in jeopardyIn a setting where the family will not accept the termination of resuscitative efforts in the field.Inability to communicate with family present at scene or in telephone contact due to language or cultural barrier.The patient has persistent pulseless VF, VT, any narrow QRS complex, or any organized QRS complex at a rate of greater than or equal to 40The patient demonstrates any neurological signsIf the patient has a return of spontaneous circulation (pulse) for even a brief period.Once Death has been DeterminedImmediately notify the appropriate law enforcement agency and remain on scene until they arrive.Cover the body with a sheet or other suitable item.Do not remove any property from the body or the scene for any purpose.Leave all medical devices (i.e., endotracheal tube, IV, ECG pads, etc.) applied to the body in place.The body is to be left at the scene with the appropriate law enforcement agency.Dealing with the Family/Loved OnesThe following guidelines will help prehospital personnel deal with family members or loved ones present on the scene:Remember: the moment you stop resuscitative efforts on a person, you acquire a new set of patients - the family and loved ones.Briefly describe the circumstances leading to the death. Go over the sequence of events that transpired. Avoid euphemisms such as "he's passed on," "she is no longer with us," or "he's left us." Instead use the words "death," "dying," or "dead."Allow time for the shock to be absorbed. Make eye contact. Consider touching family members and sharing your feelings. Convey your feelings with a phrase such as "You have my (our) sincere sympathy" rather than "I am (we are) sorry."Allow as much time as necessary for questions and discussion. Go over then events several times to make sure everything is understood and to facilitate further questions.Allow the family the opportunity to see their relative. If equipment is still connected, let the family know in advance.Know in advance what happens next and who will sign the death certificate. One of the survivors will surely ask, "What do we do next?" Be prepared with a proper answer.Return of spontaneous circulation for even a brief period is a positive prognostic sign and warrants consideration of transport to a hospital.

Do expert witnesses get compensated?
I believe that expert witnesses should be paid for their services. Expert witnesses often devote a significant amount of time and energy to their cases and should receive compensation for their efforts. Additionally in many cases expert witnesses are required to have specific credentials or expertise that command a fee. There are several benefits to paying expert witnesses for their services. It allows expert witnesses to choose cases that are relevant to their expertise rather than taking on any case that comes along. Additionally it can ensure that expert witnesses are able to devote adequate time to each case without feeling rushed or overburdened. Finally it can provide a financial incentive to the expert witness motivating them to do their best work. In summary I believe that it is reasonable for expert witnesses to be paid for their services. It allows them to pick and choose cases that are relevant to their expertise and it provides a financial incentive for them to do their best work.
