Why the study?
Does a structured algorithm based on QRS width and bedside ultrasound improve the evaluation and management of pulseless electrical activity compared to the traditional H's and T's mnemonic?

A proposed structured algorithm using QRS width and bedside ultrasound simplifies the evaluation and management of pulseless electrical activity compared to the traditional H's and T's mnemonic.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May simplify PEA resuscitation; leaves open whether QRS-ultrasound algorithm improves outcomes over H's and T's.
Littmann et al. (2013) studied this question.
