Disparities in Emergency Medical Services Termination of Resuscitation Practices for Patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

This study identified inequities in prehospital termination of resuscitation practices following OHCA. Black and Hispanic patients, as compared to White patients, received approximately 2-min-shorter prehospital resuscitative efforts prior to TOR despite controlling for bystander CPR, witnessed status, initial rhythm, and patient age. There were no gender-based differences in prehospital duration of resuscitation.
