Summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate B-mode point-of care ultrasound with arterial compressibility assessment on the femoral artery as a method to determine the presence of a pulse and to compare it with concurrently conducted manual pulse checks.

Eligibility

Age: 18 Years+
Inclusion Criteria:

* Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest treated by EMS
* Minimum age of 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy
* Disapproval of the treating EMS team
* Adults under legal guardianship
* Inability to perform femoral artery doppler ultrasound due to limited access to the patient and possible interference with the treating EMS team
* Inability to perform femoral artery doppler ultrasound due to injuries or anatomic abnormalities in the femoral region or necessary emergent medical interventions in the femoral region
* Decision to transfer the patient to the hospital with ongoing CPR for emergent procedures such as extracorporeal CPR before femoral artery doppler ultrasound could be attempted
* Inability to safely perform femoral artery doppler ultrasound due to environmental hazards
