I believe dzmohr has illustrated well. Medicine is an art not just a exact science. That is why health care providers "practice" medicine, not just perform duties. Each situation is unique and has to be handled appropriately. Part of the problem is those that try to "box" them into a category or protocol.

Sure, we all have performed, treated, and transported under distress and might would handle the situation differently next time.

The uniqueness in this studies is to address Basic Level making the determination. I am sure we will hear and see more as medical directors and emergency physicians are agreeing aystole patients are and non-viable patients should not be worked. As well as ACLS measures do not change from pre-hospital to in hospital settings, with no increase in survivability.

Likely it will not be in curriculum changes but will probably introduced in AHA, State and local EMS up-dates.
