Description

INTRODUCTION
Current guidelines recommend deferring prognostic decisions for at least 72 hours following admission after Out of Hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Most non-survivors experience withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST), and early WLST may adversely impact survival. We sought to characterize the hospital length of stay (LOS) and timing of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders (as surrogates for WLST) to assess their relationship to survival following cardiac arrest.
