The association of prehospital end-tidal carbon dioxide with survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Contemporary resuscitation practices may make low ETCO2 values uncommon, and field termination decision algorithms should not use ETCO2 values in isolation.PMID:37751228 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2023.2262566
