Overview
Post-cardiac arrest: is defined as absence of pulses requiring chest compressions, regardless of location or presenting rhythm. Post-cardiac arrest syndrome: is characterized by resumption of spontaneous systemic circulation after prolonged ischemia of whole body.[1] Anoxic or hypoxic brain injury is often seen after cardiac arrest as part of the post-cardiac arrest syndrome. Major efforts are underway to improve "The Chain of Survival" based upon early access to medical care, early defibrillation, early CPR and early hospital care. Therapeutic hypothermia may improve outcomes. Steroids, manitol, diuresis and hyperventilation have not been documented to meaningfully improve clinical outcomes.
