Episode 144 Deep Dive: End Tidal CO2 in Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest in the prehospital setting continues to be a critical area of focus for EMS clinicians, especially when it comes to measuring ventilation and perfusion. In this episode, we’ll do a deep dive on new research investigating the role of end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) as a potential indicator of survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The study looks at how both high and low ETCO2 levels affect mortality and why these numbers alone may not be enough to guide resuscitation decisions. Stick around for all the insights!

 In this podcast, we interview the lead author
