Why the study?
Does a later period of arrest (1997-2001) improve survival in patients discharged alive following pre-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest due to cardiac aetiology?
Does a later period of arrest (1997-2001) improve survival in patients discharged alive following pre-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest due to cardiac aetiology?
Survival following pre-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest improved significantly from 1991 to 2001, partly driven by increased use of evidence-based medical therapies.
