Values are expressed as number of patients (percentage) unless otherwise indicated, and includes all patients who met final study enrollment endpoint criteria. P-values are based on subjects with data on status available.

2

Received active compression decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation plus and impedance threshold device

3

mRS= modified Rankin Scale as follows: 0= asymptomatic, 1= no significant disability, 2= slight disability, 3= moderate disability, 4= moderately severe disability, 5= severe disability, 6= dead.

4

P-value = 0.039 for difference in distribution of mRS values.

5

A Mantel-Haenszel test statistic across the 3 initial arrest rhythm groups was used.

6

CASI = Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument: assessment of attention, short- and long-term memory, judgment, spatial ability, concentration; based on a scale of 0–100 where 100 is a perfect score.

7

Beck Depression Index: evaluation of depression using a scale of 0–63 where 0–13=minimal signs of depression, 14–19=mild, 20–28=moderate, and 29–63=severe.
