In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory: Effective Transition from an ICU- to CCU-Led Resuscitation Team

Table 1

A comparison of baseline characteristics in patients who had a cardiac arrest in the CCL led by the ICU versus the CCU teams, respectively. Data shown as percentage (absolute number) for all categorical variables. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); mechanical circulatory support (MCS); peripheral vascular disease (PVD); pulseless electrical activity (PEA); ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
