TiPS Episode 25 1222 - Knowing T-CPR Can Save Lives
❤️ T-CPR Saves Lives
A human heart stops.
The brain begins dying in four minutes.
And across America, whether someone survives often depends on one thing:
Did the dispatcher have a standardized Telecommunicator-CPR (T-CPR) protocol… or not?
In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch takes a hard, honest look at T-CPR standardization, why states are moving rapidly to mandate it, and how inconsistent or missing protocols are costing lives in the most critical minutes of a cardiac arrest.
This isn’t about technology.
It’s about time.
🎙️ In this episode, we break down:
Why the first four minutes after cardiac arrest matter more than anything else
How dispatch-directed CPR (T-CPR) fills the gap before responders arrive
What goes wrong when T-CPR is inconsistent or left to memory
Why standardized scripts reduce hesitation and save seconds
How states like Arizona, Texas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Washington, and others are legislating T-CPR requirements
The measurable results of T-CPR standardization, including increased bystander CPR and improved neurological outcomes
The key question every PSAP should be asking:
How long does it take in your center from call answer to first compression?
T-CPR is one of the lowest-cost, highest-impact improvements available in 9-1-1 operations today.
No new hardware.
No new satellites.
No multimillion-dollar systems.
Just:
✔ A standardized protocol
✔ Training
✔ Quality assurance
✔ And confidence at the console
Because survival should never depend on which side of a county line your heart stops on.
👍 If you work in a PSAP, ECC, EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement, or Public Safety leadership — share this episode with your team. Lives depend on it.
