In this systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers aim to establish an accurate prehospital TCA mortality rate and explore associations between survivability and the many factors contributing to prehospital TCA management. However, we might expect on-scene advanced trauma resuscitation to prolong prehospital time sizably.

What are some key ECG patterns that are sometimes missed by ED docs that can have devastating consequences? How do we figure out when bradycardia is due to a medical illness and when it is a primary cardiac problem? How can we better understand Torsades de Pointes by understanding AV blocks? What is BRASH syndrome and how can we recognize it?

Therefore, it should only be administered in life-threatening arrhythmia and not simply for peaked t waves on ECG (2,20).
