Researchers for this qualitative study published online in&nbsp;Circulation&nbsp;sought to understand how&nbsp;resuscitation&nbsp;teams in top-performing hospitals operate to achieve higher in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) survival&nbsp;rates. The study was conducted across 9 hospitals and involved 158 participants (including physicians [17.1%], nurses [45.6%], other clinical staff [17.1%], and administration personnel [20.3%]).<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

</blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>According to the study results, four&nbsp;themes&nbsp;related to&nbsp;resuscitation&nbsp;emerged: team design, team composition and roles, communication and leadership during IHCA, and training/education. The authors reported that the top-performing teams at the top-performing centers featured &ldquo;dedicated or designated resuscitation teams; participation of diverse disciplines as team members during IHCA; clear roles and responsibilities of team members; better communication and leadership during IHCA, and in-depth mock codes.&rdquo;&nbsp;The added: &ldquo;Our findings suggest core elements of successful resuscitation teams that are associated with better outcomes and form the basis for future work to improve IHCA.&rdquo; They noted that additional work is required to validate the study findings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
