The role of serial point-of-care ultrasound during cardiac arrest to predict termination of resuscitation
Summary This prospective cohort study evaluated the utility of serial point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to determine optimal timing for terminating resuscitation efforts in patients presenting with non-shockable cardiac arrest rhythms. Conducted in two academic hospitals, serial ultrasounds every two minutes were used to measure cardiac standstill duration and predict return of spontaneous […]
