Termination of resuscitative efforts for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests

TL;DR: There is significant variability in Los Angeles, depending on the particular base hospital that provides OLMC, in pronouncement of death and termination of resuscitative efforts for medical cardiac arrest in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring intervention programmes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a mixed urban and rural setting☆

TL;DR: Even in a mixed urban/rural setting, survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is dependent on well-known predictors, and the number of cases saved by an AED programme is limited when accompanied by an efficient traditional EMS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors affecting survival after prehospital asystolic cardiac arrest in a Basic Life Support-Defibrillation system

TL;DR: Potential field criteria for predicting 100% nonsurvival when the presenting rhythm is asystole in a Basic Life Support-Defibrillation (BLS-D) system is identified and will help guide ethical decision-making for protocol development in emergency medical services systems.

Predicting survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a graphic model.

TL;DR: A graphic model that describes survival from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as a function of time intervals to critical prehospital interventions is developed and is useful in planning community EMS programs, comparing EMS systems, and showing how different arrival times within a system affect survival rate.

TL;DR: It has been shown perhaps for the first time that the correction of cardiac arrest outside hospital is a practicable proposition and no death has occurred in transit in a fifteen-month period.
