Researchers want to understand how well experienced intensive care doctors and nurses can predict whether a heart attack patient will recover well and return to a good quality of life. This study will compare the doctors' and nurses' clinical judgment against advanced medical tests (like brain scans and electrical tests) that are already used in hospitals to assess recovery chances.
When someone has a heart attack outside the hospital, doctors must quickly decide whether to attempt resuscitation. New medical guidelines allow doctors to consider a patient's overall health and quality of life before the heart attack, but this information is often not used in practice. By understanding how well ICU doctors and nurses can predict outcomes, researchers hope to improve when and how these life-or-death decisions are made.

As a healthcare worker, you would share your professional observations and clinical assessments of heart attack patients you are already treating in the ICU. This is not a new treatment or intervention — you are simply documenting your medical judgment about patient outcomes and comparing it to the advanced diagnostic tests your hospital is already using. Your participation happens alongside your regular clinical work.
