Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is attached to a comprehensive quality assurance/quality improvement (QA/QI) program conducted by the Office of the medical director, and is designed to contribute to generalizable knowledge to determine effectiveness and tolerability of an FDA approved Impedance Threshold Device (ITD) device in a large urban emergency medical service (EMS) system. The cohort will comprise a convenience sample of patients that are being treated by EMS for a hypotensive emergency.
