Howard County Ambulance Service utilizes CODE-STAT™ 7.0 software with Advanced CPR Analytics.
CODE-STAT is a post-event review tool that annotates chest compressions onto the patient’s continuous
ECG report and calculates CPR statistics such as compression rate and hands-off time. CODE-STAT 7.0
software allows us to create benchmarking and trending reports to review our system's performance
CODE-STAT 7.0 also allows us to meet 2005 AHA Guidelines by measuring CPR performance (rate of
compressions/ventilation) and identify areas where improvement is needed, and measure CPR quality
without additional or intrusive hardware between the Paramedic and the patient.
