Abstract
Initial rSO2levels during OHCA are generally undetectable by the time EMS teams initiate CPR. With CPR, rSO2levels rise and are higher during CPR in patients who later achieve ROSC. Patients who achieve ROSC exhibit significant, rapid, and sustained rise in rSO2minutes prior to attaining ROSC, and normalization of rSO2 levels thereafter. Persistently low levels of rSO2 during CPR likely portend poor neurologic outcomes.
