Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Management of the Comatose Adult Patient With an Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Published: December 19, 2023
- About 350,000 people in the United States present with an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) each year with only 6-10% surviving to discharge and accounts for about 50% of all cardiovascular deaths.
- The cardiac catheterization laboratory serves as an important link in the chain of survival among patients with OHCA.
- This scientific statement discusses the role of the cardiac catheterization laboratory in the management of patients with OHCA and gives considerations for clinical care of these patients.
