Non-shockable arrest rhythms (pulseless electrical activity and asystole) represent an increasing proportion of reported cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The prognostic significance of conversion from non-shockable to shockable rhythms during the course of resuscitation remains unclear. ⋯ For OHCA patients presenting in PEA/asystole, survival to hospital discharge was not associated with conversion to a shockable rhythm during EMS resuscitation efforts.
