Use of Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound During Cardiac Arrest in the Emergency Department: A Multicentre Retrospective Study

POCUS was commonly used during cardiac arrest and identified reversible pathology in a small number; however, these findings did not alter outcomes. While POCUS can assist in identifying reversible causes, its use must not disrupt high-quality chest compressions, which remain the cornerstone of cardiac arrest management.

Abstract

POCUS was commonly used during cardiac arrest and identified reversible pathology in a small number; however, these findings did not alter outcomes. While POCUS can assist in identifying reversible causes, its use must not disrupt high-quality chest compressions, which remain the cornerstone of cardiac arrest management.
