Study Population

EMS treated OHCA who visits study participating ED

You may qualify if:

  • OHCA patients who were transported to participating emergency department (ED) by emergency medical service with resuscitation efforts and whose arrest was identified as a presumed cardiac etiology by emergency physicians in ED.

You may not qualify if:

  • OHCA with terminal illness documented by medical record, under hospice care, with pregnancy, with pre-documented 'Do Not Resuscitate' card
  • OHCA of definite non-cardiac etiology, including trauma, drowning, poisoning, burn, asphyxia, or hanging
