Early CAG and PCI are associated with improved survival and functional outcomes after OHCA, but only early PCI was associated with a significant benefit after statistical adjustment. Our analysis supports the performance of immediate CAG to determine the need for PCI in selected patients following resuscitation from OHCA.
