Intra-Arrest Transport and Neurological Outcomes in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest with Initial Shockable Rhythm Who Failed the First Defibrillation: A Nationwide Study in Limited Prehospital Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Settings
In an EMS setting with a limited-service level, intra-arrest transport showed no benefit for OHCA patients with an initial shockable rhythm who remained in refractory shockable rhythms despite the first defibrillation attempt. High-quality on-scene management is crucial before the initiation of hospital transport. Further research is needed to develop integrated systems ensuring effective prehospital and hospital care.
