3.1 Pulse Check Time
There were 94 patients who had pulse check time recorded. The average
pulse check time was 13.09 (SD±5.97). 38% of pulse checks were less
than 10 seconds. There was a significant decrease in average pulse check
time over the duration of the study period (rho= -0.26; p=0.01) (Figure
1). The average pulse check times per quarter are listed in Table 2.
