U SO CARE—The Impact of Cardiac Ultrasound during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Prospective Randomized Simulator-Based Trial

Background: Actual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS); however, data on POCUS during CPR are sparse and conflicting. This randomized trial investigated the effects of POCUS during CPR on team performance and diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Intensi...

This randomized trial investigated the effects of POCUS during CPR on team performance and diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine residents performed CPR with or without available POCUS in simulated cardiac arrests. The primary endpoint was hands-on time. Data analysis was performed using video recordings. Results: Hands-on time was 89% (87–91) in the POCUS and 92% (89–94) in the control group (difference 3, 95% CI for difference 2–4, <i>p</i> < 0.001). POCUS teams had delayed defibrillator attachments (33 vs. 26 sec, <i>p</i> = 0.017) and first rhythm analysis (74 vs. 52 sec, <i>p</i> = 0.001). Available POCUS was used in 71%. Of the POCUS teams, 3 stated a POCUS-derived diagnosis, with 49 being correct and 42 followed by a correct treatment decision.
