Survival and Rearrest in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients with Prehospital Return of Spontaneous Circulation: A Prospective Multi-regional Observational Study.

Conclusions: A longer interval from collapse to first prehospital ROSC was associated with rearrest, and an initial shockable rhythm was associated with survival despite the occurrence of rearrest. Emergency medical service providers and physicians should be prepared to deal with rearrest when pulses are obtained late in the resuscitation. PMID: 32091295 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
