Barriers to CPR initiation and continuation during the emergency call relating to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A descriptive cohort study

Aim: To describe the barriers to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) initiation and continuation in emergency calls for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: We analysed 295 consecutive emergency calls relating to OHCA over a four-month period (1 January – 30 April 2021). Calls included...
