Cardiac arrest in the prehospital setting continues to be a critical area of focus for EMS clinicians, especially when it comes to measuring ventilation and perfusion. In this episode, we’ll do a deep dive on new research investigating the role of end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) as a potential indicator of survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The study looks at how both high and low ETCO2 levels affect mortality and why these numbers alone may not be enough to guide resuscitation decisions. Stick around for all the insights!

 In this podcast, we interview the lead author

Tanner Smida

MD/PhD Candidate

AEMT

West Virginia University

The Association of Prehospital End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide with Survivial Following Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Everyone witnessed the tragic event of Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest during an NFL Football game.  While he had a great outcome, there remains a paucity of algorithms in managing cardiac arrest emergencies in equipment-laden athletes.  Expert consensus begins with research in the field of cardiac arrest for equipment laden athletes.  In this deep dive we delve into the quality in chest compressions on patients with football pads.

Jennifer Longo 

Assistant Professor

The Field Triage Guidelines (FTG) are used across North America to identify seriously injured patients for transport to appropriate-level trauma centers.  We should aim for an under-triage rate of 5% and an over-triage rate of 25-35%.  But how faithful are we to these recommendations?
