Factors Associated With Withdrawal of Life-Sustaining Therapy After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
This study highlights the high incidence of WLST, and specifically early WLST, in OHCA patients. GOC discussions are routinely undocumented and is associated with a higher likelihood of WLST. These findings underscore heterogeneity of practice, and the influence of GOC discussions in education and shared decision making.
