Abstract
The process of transferring out-of-hospital information and care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients from Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to emergency department (ED) staff is wrought with challenges. We aimed to objectively evaluate the duration and frequency of communication of vital data points between EMS and ED clinicians by leveraging our existing CA video review program. Additionally, we dichotomized the patients based on the number of data points communicated below or above the median and compared the time to first ED rhythm analysis and defibrillation between two groups.
