EMS witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest can be challenging for the EMS clinicians attending to the patient, even though patients who suffer OHCA in front of emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians have a greater likelihood of survival. Little is known about how EMS clinicians think about and experience those events.
