Spatial and Temporal Boundaries of Remote Areas in the Initial Management of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Location, patient sex, and bystander CPR type play an important role in predicting shockable initial rhythm. The same factors, except the patient's sex, predicted any ROSC, while the main predictors of survival to hospital admission are population size and OHCA location. Both shorter emergency medical service response time and a shorter distance are significantly associated with a higher rate of shockable initial rhythm and any ROSC.
