Variation in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation and Transport Practices in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium: ROC Epistry–Cardiac Arrest

摘要

ObjectivesTo identify variation in patient, event, and scene characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) patients assessed by emergency medical services (EMS), and to investigate variation in transport practices in relation to documented prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) within eight regional clinical centers participating in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) Epistry–Cardiac Arrest.
