    AbstractThis retrospective cohort study examined the rate of survival to hospital discharge among adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, comparing patients who received care only from basic cardiac life support (BCLS)-trained emergency medical service (EMS) crews to patients who had an advanced cardiac life support (ACLS)-trained EMS crew on scene at some point during the resuscitation. There was no difference in the primary outcome of rate of survival to hospital discharge (10.9% with ACLS care and 10.6% with BCLS care, p = 0.67).© 2017 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine.
