Decision to Stop Using Calcium in Cardiac Arrest

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the decision to stop using calcium in cardiac arrest. The general consensus is that calcium should no longer be used in cardiac arrest due to the findings of the study. The data showed a low event rate and differences in the types of rhythms observed between the calcium and non-calcium groups. Although the adjusted analysis attenuated the results, there was still a signal towards harm. The decision not to have predefined stopping criteria was deliberate, allowing examination of secondary outcomes and adverse events.
