Research news
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests spiked during pandemic
[cid:image015.jpg at 01D9FDF3.1AB21920]Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) rose by 19% and survival of those events fell by about 4% during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an analysis of emergency medical services’ responses in Seattle and King County, Washington. But acute infections of the SARS-CoV-2 virus appeared not to be a primary cause of the changes.

In comparing EMS responses during the two years prepandemic (2018-19) against those during the pandemic in 2020-21, the investigators found data suggesting that indirect factors of COVID-19, such as slower response times by paramedics who needed to don more protective gear, and fewer cardiac arrests in public, had greater influence on OHCA incidence and survival.

The findings were published this month in JAMA Network Open<https://bit.ly/3rUMjJB>, Dr. Thomas Rea, professor (General Internal Medicine) is senior author and Dr. Peter Kudenchuk, professor (Cardiology) is co-author.
