Impact of post-arrest care variation on hospital performance after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Background: Large variation exists for out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest (OHCA) prehospital care, but less is known about variations in post-arrest care. We sought to evaluate variation in post-arrest care in Texas as well as factors associated with higher ...
