Expedited transfer to cardiac arrest center vs standard care for non-ST elevation out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Cardiology Update

In a prospective, multicentre, parallel, randomised clinical trial titled ARREST, researchers aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of expedited transfer to a cardiac arrest center compared to standard care following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The ARREST study is the first randomized trial of its kind.
