A comparison of two different European EMS centers (Brugge and Göttingen) using the same electronic 'cardiopulmonary-cerebral-resuscitation' registration program: a preliminary report.
A preliminary comparison of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) data registered with a common software program (Utstein style) in two different European EMS centers is presented. Rather than attempting independently several small-scale trials, we prefer to develop in a committed effort a coordinated program of active and passive surveillance. Hopefully, this will allow us to determine the true European profile and outcome of our out-of-hospital CA victims.
