Use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy by Paramedics During Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Feasibility Study

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides continuous real-time measurement of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during resuscitation. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of paramedics using NIRS during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation. Paramedics were trained to record...
