Cardiac Rhythm Conversions and the Outcome in Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Extracorporeal Versus Conventional Resuscitation
Achieving ROSC is the best prognostic marker in OHCA patients with an initially refractory VF. Patients with intermittent ROSC after the initial VF and ongoing VF seem to be optimal candidates for an invasive approach. Asystole detection at any time during resuscitation is a strong negative prognostic marker, irrespective of the initial rhythm.
