Prehospital echocardiography during resuscitation impacts treatment in a physician-staffed HEMS 181
Conclusions
In a physician-staffed HEMS, it is feasible to perform echocardiography in prehospital car- diac arrest. It impacts patient management decisions and may be a useful diagnostic tool to support decision-making in ongoing CPR. Most frequently, ultrasound imaging was used to support the decision to terminate the resuscitation.
