Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests in Victoria, 2003–2022: retrospective analysis of Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry data
Utstein survival to hospital discharge increased threefold during 2003-2022, and the proportions of cases in which bystanders provided cardio-pulmonary resuscitation or public access defibrillation increased. The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a substantial reduction in survival, and new strategies are needed to improve outcomes.
