Management
- Maintain perfusion (cerebral)
- Treat hypotension
- Ignore hypertension
- Maintain normal PaCO2 (~40)
- Target normoxia
- PaO2 80-120
- Therapeutic Hypothermia
- PCI
- Aggressively treat hyperglycemia
- No IV fluids with glucose
- RISS
- Aggressive seizure treatment
- Prophylaxis unproven
- Minimize Irritation
- Sedatives +/- paralytics
- Supine positioning
Prognostication[3]
- Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has about a 10% survival to discharge rate
- In-hospital cardiac arrest has just over a 20% survival to discharge rate
- About half will have no to mild disability, and the other half will have moderate to severe disability
- Lack of pupillary reflexes upon ROSC after OHCA are not reliable in prognosticating return of neurologic function
