What must be documented when terminating resuscitation efforts?

When terminating resuscitation efforts, it is crucial to document the doctor's name on the electronic patient care report (ePCR) as this helps in verifying the medical oversight that directed or agreed upon the termination. It serves as an essential part of the legal and medical record keeping, providing clarity on the clinical decisions made by qualified personnel. Accurate documentation of the doctor's name ensures accountability and helps in the continuity of care, should the case require further review or legal scrutiny.

The other aspects of documentation, though important in different contexts, do not hold the same level of universal need in the termination of resuscitation efforts. Recording the time of death is critical for legal and medical history, but it's guided by specific protocols. Family contact information is generally important for later stages of care but is not as pertinent to the immediate actions taken during resuscitation. The exact location of termination can be useful for logistical or legal contexts but is secondary to documenting the medical decision behind the termination of efforts.
