The Prehospital CTAS Paramedic Guide 2.0 lists ROSC under ‘CTAS 1 Resuscitation’, if our ROSC pt is vitally stable with no active resuscitation, are we transporting CTAS 1?

Yes, a ROSC patient who is vitally stable should still be transported as CTAS 1, even without active resuscitation. The CTAS level reflects not just current status but also the high risk of deterioration and need for immediate interventions if required. ROSC patients remain at significant risk for re-arrest and other complications during transport, warranting the highest acuity designation.
