Abstract

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is more common during periods of high COVID-19 prevalence and case positivity. Prehospital care requires specific changes to the management of arrest as well as rescuer protective equipment. Policy development regarding duration of arrest treatment and transportation of patients with ongoing cardiac arrest is critical. Intra-arrest management also requires changes to contemporary arrest management, specifically regarding the consideration of additional etiology. Airway management needs special consideration, both to provide optimal oxygenation and to reduce viral aerosolization. Lastly, post-cardiac arrest care needs to incorporate COVID-19 specific treatment strategies with consideration of cardiac implications and drug interactions of virus treatment medications. In this chapter these recommendations, as well as literature evidence, are reviewed and summarized.
