When deciding whether to send a cardiac arrest patient to the cath lab, is it a question of the right timing or the right patient? 

In today’s episode, Nicole interviews Dr. David Gaieski, Professor of Emergency Medicine at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Vice Chair for Resuscitation Services and Director of Emergency-Critical Care.

They discuss a recent study – the first of its kind – that focused on a randomized trial of immediate cardiac catheterization in post-arrest patients without ST elevation versus delayed cardiac catheterization during hospitalization.
