  1. The preliminary results of this study were presented at the 9th Scientific Congress of the European Resuscitation Council, Ghent, Belgium, 2008.

  2. This study was supported by a grant from the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Health, Jerusalem, Israel (Grant 5397). Oridion provided the capnography equipment, developed the dedicated software, and funded the mathematician who performed data extraction. Neither the Ministry of Health or Oridion had a role in study design, data analyses and interpretation, writing of the manuscript or manuscript submission for publication.
