Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes. 2020; 13: e006837. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES. 120.006837 July 2020 447 were associated with worse survival outcomes. In patients≥ 80 years old with asystole or PEA on mechanical ventilation, the overall rate of survival was 6%, and survival with CPC of 1 or 2 was 3.7%. Survival with CPC of 1 in that group was 1.7%. Among all patients with asystole or PEA who were also receiving vasopressors (n= 2845, 50% of the cohort),< 10% of patients were discharged with a CPC of 1 or 2 and< 7% were discharged with a CPC of 1, across all age groups. The corresponding rates of survival with a CPC of 1 or 2, and CPC of 1 were 2.7% and 1.2% in the≥ 80 years age group with asystole/PEA and on vasopressors. Similar patterns of survival by age and vasopressor use were noted in patients with ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, although the overall rates were higher compared with patients with asystole or PEA. In patients< 50 years of age, with ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia who were not on vasopressors, overall survival was 26.1%, survival with a CPC of 1 or 2 was 22.0%, and survival with CPC of 1 was 16.5%. We think that these data can help inform discussions among patients, providers, and hospital leaders regarding resuscitation policies and goals of care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is posing unprecedented challenges to the US healthcare system. The limited supply of ICU beds, mechanical ventilators, and personal protective equipment is already placing a tremendous strain on health systems. That notwithstanding, a recent article in the Washington Post noted that some hospitals are already considering universal do-not-resuscitation orders in patients with confirmed COVID-19 potentially overriding wishes of patients and their families for resuscitation. 2 Furthermore, a recent discussion in the BMJ highlighted similar challenges in
