The resuscitation triangle roles in a high-performance team typically include:
- Team Leader: Oversees the resuscitation effort, makes treatment decisions, assigns roles, and maintains communication.
- Airway Manager: Responsible for maintaining a clear airway and providing effective ventilation.
- Compressor (Chest Compressor): Delivers high-quality chest compressions to maintain blood circulation.
- AED/Monitor/Defibrillator Operator: Handles the defibrillator, monitors the heart rhythm, and administers defibrillation shocks when necessary.
- Timer/Recorder: Keeps track of timing for interventions, documents events, and monitors interruptions in compressions.
- Medication Administrator (IV/IO/Medication provider): Manages IV or intraosseous access and administers medications to stabilize the patient.
These roles work collaboratively to ensure effective and coordinated care during resuscitation emergencies as part of the ACLS team structure and the resuscitation triangle model.
