This study aims to evaluate the role of echocardiography in enhancing CPR management and identifying reversible causes during cardiac arrest.
Examined the use of point-of-care ultrasound during CPR to identify reversible causes of arrest.
Assessed the sensitivity and specificity of manual pulse check compared to femoral artery Doppler.
Conducted evaluations of ultrasound impact on survival rates and decision-making in resuscitation efforts.
PoCUS demonstrated 100% sensitivity and specificity for detecting cardiac activity after 10 min of CPR.
Femoral artery Doppler was found to be more accurate than manual palpation at low systolic blood pressures.
Use of PoCUS improved the identification of reversible causes and had positive predictive value for return of spontaneous circulation.
