Objectives: Effective communication during handoffs between emergency medical services (EMS) and emergency department (ED) personnel is a critical step in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) care. No handoff tool has been specifically designed for OHCA, in which timely and accurate transfer of information can substantially affect patient care. This study aimed to develop a standardized checklist for OHCA handoffs based on expert consensus using a modified Delphi approach.
