Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adults (known or thought to be 18 years old or above) 2. In cardiac arrest 3. CPR performed by NEAS clinician 4. In the catchment area of the participating hospitals

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Paediatric patients (known or thought to be under 18 years old) 2. Non cardiac arrest (e.g., respiratory arrests) 3. Do not resuscitate order or equivalent 4. Ventilation needing to be performed at a rate and/or volume different to normal adult rate and/or volume

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
% of eligible patients experiencing cardiac arrest where ventilation data collected measured using review of ambulance clinical records at baseline (time of cardiac arrest)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Number of ambulance clinicians participating in study measured using training log at baseline;Clinical data on enrolled patients measured using review of ambulance clinical records at baseline;Patients with 30-day outcome data measured using interview at 30 days post cardiac arrest;% of survivors that consent to inclusion in the study measured using verbal and/or written consent at between baseline and 30-days
