Presentation, Treatment, and Outcome of Survivors of In-Hospital Versus Out-of-Hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Response to ‘Effect of adrenaline dose on neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: still difficult to conclude’

“…Moreover, using only cardiac ultrasound can be difficult with a lot of patients in the gray zone [3]. A chest ultrasound combining lung and cardiac approaches is probably more efficient [4,5]. We published a study using such a combined approach on 89 patients [5].…”

“…Adherence to guidelines was estimated around 70–75% but adrenaline administration was not at all evaluated in this study. Moreover, we know that management of in- and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests often differs in presentation, treatment and survival, and the comparison seems complex [4,5].…”
