Overview
Natural History, Complications, Prognosis
PEA is associated with a poor prognosis, particularly if the underlying cause is not readily identifiable and treated. The presence of a QRS interval > 0.20 seconds is associated with a poorer prognosis. The survival of in hospital PEA is only 11.2%.[1] The survival for out of hospital occurrence of PEA is higher (19.5%) than for in hospital PEA, likely due to the higher incidence of reversible causes among patients with out of hospital arrest. The survival of PEA as a presenting rhythm is poorer than ventricular tacycardia or ventricular fibrillation.[2]
