The only confusion around NZ Paramedics response to cardiac arrest at this time during the pandemic is being caused by @NZStuff & this is irresponsible. 1/3 https://trib.al/A5ha3m2 

2/3 Paramedics make decisions about commencing or withholding resus routinely, & will continue to do so based on a number of factors related to the likely outcome & hopefully that preserve a persons dignity in the context of futility. These are too difficult to explain in a tweet

3/3 What will change is the personal protective equipment (PPE) that paramedics will don before entering, to protect themselves and everyone else in their "bubble", so be patient and kind.

Manaakitia goes both ways.
