      Citation Excerpt :

      Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a frequent finding among patients succumbing to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Clinical states with electrical activity and no detectable pulse were earlier referred to as electromechanical dissociation (EMD) [1–9]. PEA is a broader summary term adopted in the early 1990s and includes heterogeneous arrhythmias, pseudo-EMD, idioventricular rhythm, ventricular escape rhythms, postdefibrillation idioventricular rhythms and bradyasystolic rhythms [10].
