The impact of COVID-19 on incidence and outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Texas

Emerging research demonstrates lower rates of BCPR, public AED (PAD), worse outcomes, and higher incidence of OHCA during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to characterize the incidence of OHCA during the early pandemic period and the subsequent long-term period while describing changes in OHCA outcomes and survival.
