Cerebral oximetry during out-of-hospital resuscitation: Pilot Study of First Responder Implementation

Conclusion: In this observational study, where first responders applied cerebral oximetry, higher rSO2 during the course of care predicted ROSC among all patients and predicted favorable survival among those who achieved ROSC. Future investigation should evaluate whether and how treatments might modify rSO2 and in turn may influence prognosis.PMID:34191686 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2021.1948647
