Codes take space and people. Certainly there are situations where patients are transported, you can’t code in the field forever, but even putting someone on a gurney requires hands off the chest. You are trying to avoid gaps in compressions at almost all costs.
For most intents and purposes,
ACLS is the same in the ambulance, on the field, and in the ED.
Without return if circulation in the field, the prognosis is grim
