Background Prehospital critical care has the potential to improve the currently low survival rates following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In some areas of the United Kingdom, prehospital critical care teams are dispatched to OHCA, while in...

Aim To examine the effect of prehospital critical care on survival following OHCA, compared to routine advanced life support (ALS) care. Methods We undertook a prospective multi-centre cohort study including two ambulance services and six prehos...
