Brief Summary
Patients presenting following out of hospital cardiac arrest will undergo bedside ultrasound as per the hospital clinical practice. Initial 6 months include recording of current state of practice and timing of pauses and timing of ultrasounds. The second 6 months will follow an educational intervention to teach "pre-imaging". This is the technique of imaging the heart during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to find the heart and center it on the ultrasound screen before CPR is stopped. The goal is to decrease CPR pause times when ultrasound is performed post out of hospital (OOH) cardiac arrest.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Length of CPR pause
the time between stopping CPR and restoring CPR during resuscitation.
1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Survival
1 year
Study Arms (2)
Pre-Intervention
Baseline measurement of timing and behavior in OOH cardiac arrest patients presenting with ongoing CPR.
Post-Intervention
Timing and behavior in OOH cardiac arrest patents presenting with ongoing CPR
Interventions
Technique involves finding low quality images of the heart during CPR prior to pausing CPR to acquire high quality images once CPR is paused.
