Primary outcomePrimary: Rate of ROSC During the Prehospital Resuscitation — 361; 345 Participants — p=0.96
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not real-time feedback on CPR process variables will increase rates of restoration of spontaneous circulation during prehospital resuscitation and upon arrival at the receiving emergency room as well as increase rates of survival to hospital discharge.
