Inter-rater reliability of point-of-care ultrasound during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: an ancillary analysis of the observational prospective ACE trial
Agreement between emergency physicians and experts regarding POCUS image quality and interpretation of cardiac motion during OHCA was limited. However, this discrepancy did not appear to significantly affect the prognostication of ROSC. Further training and standardization of image acquisition and interpretation criteria may improve POCUS reliability in this setting.<b>Trial registration:</b> This paper is an ancillary study of the ACE trial, registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT03494153) on March 29, 2018.
