Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All patients who have an out of hospital cardiac arrest * and are attended by the EMS at any stage during the event. This study will include all events that occur between 00:00 on 1st September 2022 and 23:59 on 30th November 2022. Patients will be included irrespective of their age, gender or personal factors. These inclusion criteria include all patients who receive resuscitation (chest compression, and/or defibrillation of any type) • By the EMS • Before the arrival of the EMS with continued resuscitation by the EMS • Before the arrival of the EMS, that is immediately stopped (for any reason) when the EMS arrives • Patients who achieve ROSC before the arrival of the EMS It also includes patients found or declared dead (for any reason).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To enhance the key quality requirements of comprehensiveness and reliability, the aims of the EuReCa THREE project will be as follows: • Expand the EuReCa network • Improve the understanding of how response time and transport time influence return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival • Overview of the longitudinal changes since EuReCA ONE • Continue collecting data on established data-points/items to strengthen the robustness of European data collection | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To achieve these aims, the following objectives will be fulfilled: • Encourage participating countries to aim for national data collection and encourage additional countries to participate • To provide robust estimates of incidence, management and outcome, the data collection period will be three months (1st September to 30th November 2022) • Identify consistency and variation in the measurement of time points and time intervals in connection with response times • Describe the time intervals of response time and transport time | — |
