Cardiopulmonary arrest is a difficult topic. Generally speaking, in cases of cardiac arrest, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in an austere environment may not be a wise use of resources unless the etiology for the arrest is rapidly reversible. Additionally, significant aerosol generation will invariably occur during CPR of a COVID-19 patient. It is reasonable during a pandemic to establish medical rules of engagement that discourage providers from performing CPR on infected patients. If CPR is performed, efforts should focus on reducing provider exposure to COVID-19 and prioritizing strategies with lower aerosol formation risk. (See DoD Covid-19 PMG.)
