You can go to a strip club or a casino tho! 😅

you couldn't waterboard this out of me

Thanks for highlighting! It was pretty cool to see. Hopefully we can push harder with future work and really provide enough data to inform practice.

Thanks Mitch! It is really cool--hoping this and future work in TCP can further inform guidelines and practice.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas for future research.

Thanks to all of the rockstar co-authors on this study and more importantly the paramedics and EMTs who provide high-quality clinical care to our communities.

Main takeaway:
- Delays to defibrillation and chest compressions due to unrecognized prehospital rearrest may contribute to decreased survival outcomes, and patient movement could play a role.

- Nearly 50% experienced prehospital rearrest.
- Of 10 w/ rearrest rhythm of asystole, 6 had a CPR delay > 10s with a median delay of 18s.
- Of 16 w/ rearrest rhythm of VF, 12 had a defibrillation delay > 10s and 3 were never defibrillated.

We aimed to:
- Calculate the time interval from rearrest to initiation of chest compressions and defibrillation for those with a rearrest rhythm of asystole or VF
- Use a novel methodology to infer when patient movement began and ended in the context of rearrest

We identified 235 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on-scene ROSC from an EMS network with multiple divisions with 9-1-1 and emergency airport response from 2021 to 2023.

We used cardiac monitor files to investigate rearrest treatment delays and patient movement.
