Abstract
Background— The impact of ongoing efforts to improve the “chain of survival” for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incremental effect of changes in prehospital emergency care on survival after OHCA.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
