Summary

This study looked at 77 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers measured lactate (a waste product) in the blood during CPR to see if it could help predict whether the heart would start beating again on its own. The goal was to find a simple tool to guide emergency care, but this was a small pilot study, so more research is needed.
