Naloxone and Patient Outcomes in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests in California
In this retrospective cohort study, naloxone administration as part of EMS management of OHCA was associated with increased rates of ROSC and increased survival to hospital discharge when evaluated using propensity score-based models. Given the lack of clinical practice data on the efficacy of naloxone in OA-OHCA and OHCA in general, these findings support further evaluation of naloxone as part of cardiac arrest care.
