The association of race with CPR quality following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Previous studies have shown racial disparities in outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Although several treatment factors may account for these differences, there is limited information regarding differences in CPR quality and its effect on survival in underrepresented racial populations.
