Excerpt

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major cause of death in Western countries [1]. While bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are associated with improved outcomes, the impact of advanced life support (ALS) is less clear [2]. Recently, a series of randomised controlled trials assessed the effect of major ALS interventions: tracheal intubation, vasopressor and antiarrhythmic drugs during CPR, and oxygenation, ventilation and hemodynamic management strategies after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). …
