Telecommunicator CPR (TCPR)

Every year in the U.S., there are an estimated 250,000 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac

arrest. The average survival rate is 10%. This course provides a sample Telecommunicator CPR protocol based on the CPR LifeLinks initiative created by the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This course explains the importance of

implementing a T-CPR protocol in the PSAP, teaches the telecommunicator how to

recognize the symptoms of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, provides a sample protocol

of T-CPR instructions, and explains how to overcome barriers on OHCA calls.
