Article Synopsis
- The study explores racial disparities in survival outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, with a focus on CPR quality differences between black and white patients.
- Data from the Pragmatic Airway Resuscitation Trial (PART) shows that black patients had better compliance with compression rates but lower compliance with the intended CPR strategy compared to white patients.
- The analysis indicates that while there are differences in CPR quality metrics, these are not significant contributors to the overall survival outcome disparities observed between racial groups.
Study Objective: It is unknown whether regionalization of postarrest care by interfacility transfer to cardiac arrest receiving centers reduces mortality. We seek to evaluate whether treatment at a cardiac arrest receiving center, whether by direct transport or early interfacility transfer, is independently associated with long-term outcome.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study including adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in southwestern Pennsylvania and neighboring Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland, which includes approximately 5.
