Adjusting on-scene CPR duration based on transport time interval in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a nationwide multicenter study.

ABSTRACT: The optimal duration of on-scene cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients remains uncertain. Determining this critical time period requires outweighing the potential risks associated with intra-arrest transport while minimizing delays in accessing definitive hospital-based treatments. This study evaluated the association between on-scene CPR duration and 30-day neurologically favorable survival based on the transport time interval (TTI) in patients with OHCA. We retrospectively analyzed data from the Korean Cardiac Arrest Research Consortium registry of OHCA, comprising 65 participating hospitals in South Korea, between October 2015 and December 2021. We categorized the patients into Short-TTI (TTI < 10 min) and Long-TTI (TTI ≥ 10 min) groups.
