Palliative care consultation in patients hospitalized with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Impact on invasive procedures, do-not-resuscitate orders, and healthcare costs
Abstract
Background
The impact of palliative care consultation on the management and outcomes of patients hospitalized with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poorly understood. This study examined associations between palliative care consultation and in-hospital outcomes of patients hospitalized with OHCA, stratified by survival status.
