Survival Prediction of Initial Blood pH for Nontraumatic Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients in the Emergency Department

Survival Prediction of Initial Blood pH for Nontraumatic Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients in the Emergency Department

Background: Most nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (NTOHCA) patients who fail in prehospital resuscitation receive continued cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergency department (ED). Initial blood pH, which can be assessed rapidly in the ED, was examined to see whether it is a strong...
