This document is an update of guidelines first published in 2000, and then updated in 2007. These guidelines present the best available evidence to support clinical decision making in the prehospital setting when TBI care may have the most significant impact on outcomes; they also establish a research agenda for future investigations.

Background Whether and how bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) modifies the cardiac rhythm after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) over time remains unclear. The first documented cardiac rhythm was compared between patients who received bystander CPR and those who did not, using a 1:2 propensity score-matched analysis.
