  1. Data expressed in absolute numbers (percentage, %) or mean value [interquartile range, IQR]. Continuous and absolute values from the pandemic waves with Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test respectively. Variability analyses with ANOVA test and analyses of the proportion trend with the Cochran-Armitage (CA) test. Significance p<0.05. (*) Significance pandemic waves vs. pre-pandemic control period. BLSD basic life support defibrillation, ACLS advance cardiac life support, ROSC return of spontaneous circulation
