International guidelines recommend that interruptions to chest compressions are minimised during defibrillation. As a result, some resuscitation educators have adopted a more structured approach to defibrillation. One such approach is the 'C.O.A.C.H.E.D.' cognitive aid Continue compressions, Oxygen away, All others away, Charging, Hands off, Evaluate, Defibrillate or Disarm. To date
Overall median PSP was 9.35 s for COACH-RED and 6.94 s for COACHED. Sub-group analysis of COACH-RED revealed median PSP 10.80 s in shockable rhythms and 8.74 s 2 s less in non-shockable rhythms.

The article evaluates the effectiveness of the 'C.O.A.C.H.E.D.' cognitive aid for defibrillation in emergency settings.
COACHED a safe method for defibrillation Requires trained staff and clear instructions. We suggest in a resuscitation sim OSCE state you want to use it. There will be variability between departments and states etc on exact wording. Ensure good effective closed loop communication. C Compressions Continue O Oxygen away if free flowing BVM
