From the ResusX:2025 resuscitation conference:
Does every post-arrest patient need an immediate trip to the cath lab? For years, the reflex was "yes," but recent landmark trials are changing the standard of care for emergency physicians and cardiologists alike.
In this deep dive, Dr. Trott breaks down the shift from immediate to delayed selective PCI, analyzing why the COACT and TOMAHAWK trials have cardiologists staying in bed at 4 AM—and the 3 critical "red flags" that mean the patient still needs an emergent intervention.
