In recent years, there has been intense focus on delivering high-quality compressions during the resuscitation of patients with OHCA. In contrast, ventilation metrics in OHCA resuscitation have not been well studied. In this podcast, we discuss a recent publication from Circulation that evaluated ventilation waveforms during OHCA resuscitation and the association of these metrics on patient outcomes. Can we do better?
