Difference in end-tidal CO(2 )between asphyxia cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest in the prehospital setting

INTRODUCTION: There has been increased interest in the use of capnometry in recent years. During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO(2)) correlates with cardiac output and, consequently, it has a prognostic value in CPR. This study was underta...
