Community disparities in out of hospital cardiac arrest care and outcomes in Texas.

Background: Large racial and socioeconomic inequalities exist for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) care and outcomes. We sought to characterize racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in OHCA care and outcomes in Texas.

Methods: We analyzed 2014-2018 Texas-Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) data.

Community Variations in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Care and Outcomes in Texas.

Large and unacceptable variation exists in cardiac resuscitation care and outcomes across communities. Texas is the second most populous state in the US with wide variation in community and emergency response infrastructure. We utilized the Texas-CARES registry to perform the first Texas state analysis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Texas, evaluating for variations in incidence, care, and outcomes.

Video laryngoscopy for out of hospital cardiac arrest.

Introduction: Endotracheal intubation is an import component of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation. In this analysis, we evaluate the association of video laryngoscopy (VL) with first pass success and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) using a national OHCA cohort.

Methods: We analyzed 2018 data from ESO Inc.
