A comparative study of targeted end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) versus standard EtCO2 management to guide resuscitation in emergency department cardiac arrest: a randomized controlled trial

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Patients experiencing cardiac arrest in the emergency department (EDCA). This includes patients who experienced their first cardiac arrest outside the hospital (OHCA) and then had a recurrent arrest in the emergency department, as well as patients who experienced their first cardiac arrest while already in the emergency department (IHCA).
