Paramedic Echocardiography in Pulseless Electrical Activity Cardiac Arrest: An Education and Simulation Study
To determine if paramedics can acquire an ultrasound image within the 10-s pulse check pause in simulated pulseless electrical activity (PEA) cardiac arrest. Secondary aims focus on the quality of ultrasound image acquisition, interpretation and retention of learned knowledge.
