Summary

This study looked at 346 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Doctors used an ultrasound within the first 12 minutes of CPR to see if the heart was still. The goal was to find out if a still heart on ultrasound can predict whether the person will survive or not. The results could help doctors make faster decisions about treatments like ECMO or organ donation.
