Yates EJ, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study performed at three hospitals in the West Midlands, UK between September 2016 and November 2017, researchers examined outcomes of patients transferred to hospital with ongoing CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Outcomes of patients meeting the universal prehospital termination of resuscitation criteria (no shocks administered, unwitnessed by emergency medical services, no return of spontaneous circulation) were assessed. In this work, patients transported to hospital with ongoing CPR demonstrated an overall poor survival. In patients without obvious reversible causes of cardiac arrest, application of the universal prehospital termination of resuscitation rule would have allowed resuscitation to have been discontinued at the scene for 39.2% of patients who did not survive.
