Cardiac arrest & resuscitation

Development and validation of a prehospital termination of resuscitation (TOR) rule for out - of hospital cardiac arrest (out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)) cases using general purpose artificial intelligence (AI)

ResuscitationPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

The accuracy of prediction models using AI software to determine outcomes in OHCA was excellent and the AI-TOR rule's variables from prediction model performed better than the Universal TOR rule.
