Inclusion Criteria

  • 1. Sustained a cardiac arrest in the pre-hospital setting believed to be of a non-traumatic cause. Cardiac arrest will be defined according to the Utstein Definition as the cessation of cardiac mechanical activity as confirmed by the absence of signs of circulation. If an EMS provider or physician did not witness the cardiac arrest, he/she may be uncertain as to whether a cardiac arrest actually occurred. For the purposes of this study, patients will be eligible for inclusion if they are attended by ambulance staff and are believed by those staff to have suffered a cardiac arrest.
  • 2. ROSC (indicated by signs of circulation: usually a palpable central or peripheral pulse) for greater than 2 minutes (sustained ROSC) has been achieved
  • 3. Attended by a paramedic participating in the trial
  • 4. Known, or believed to be, 18 years of age, or older

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. Less than 18 years old
  • 2. Cardiac arrest believed to have been caused by trauma (including hanging and drowning)
  • 3. Entered into the study previously
  • 4. Detained by Her Majesty's Prison Service
