There was no difference in 28-day mortality in critically ill adult patients with ketamine vs. etomidate for rapid sequence induction (RSI), but ketamine increased the need for peri-intubation vasopressor support.
The 2025 executive summary shows new developments in the AHA guidelines, integrating science, systems, and education with a unified Chain of Survival across the entire cardiac arrest continuum so that communities can prioritize which changes matter most for their patients, from lay rescuer response to prehospital care to the ED and beyond.
