About

Australasian College of Paramedicine International Conference (ACPIC 2022)

Epidemiology And Outcomes Of Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests Precipitated By Electrocution Compared With Traumatic Cardiac Arrest From Other External Injuries

Traumatic OHCA management has seen much change in current contemporary EMS systems. Electrical injury leading to cardiac arrest, a form of external trauma is solely represented in the prehospital space. Despite little to no prehospital studies making recommendations for paramedic treatment of EI OHCA, most services still group this cohort as trauma in nature. This respective study analyses the trends and epidemiology associated with electrical injury that lead to prehospital cardiac arrest management. The results will enable effective decision making on how to treat this rare but survivable cause of arrest.
