Bystander CPR Technique and Outcomes for Cardiac Arrest With and Without Opioid Toxicity
In this cohort study of OHCA, bystander CCV-CPR (compared with CC-CPR) was associated with improved outcomes in opioid-associated OHCA; however, this association was not observed among undifferentiated cardiac arrests. These results suggest that the optimal bystander CPR technique for OA-OHCA and undifferentiated OHCA may differ and that ventilations may improve outcomes in OA-OHCA resuscitation.
