Laboratory Findings
(In alphabetical order)[1] [2] [3]
- Arterial blood gases
- Blood glucose. Elevated blood glucose is associated with a poorer prognosis.
- Cardiac output monitoring with noninvasive methods or pulmonary artery catheter
- Chest x-ray to evaluate for aspiration pneumonia
- Complete blood count
- Continuous ECG monitoring to promptly shock any recurrent arrhythmia.
- Echocardiography to evaluate LV function and assess for the presence of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM)
- EEG for early seizure detection and treatment
- Electrolytes to detect hyopkalemia and hypomagnesemia
- Cardiac enzymes to assess MI size
- Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry
- Placement of an arterial catheter
- ScvO2
- Serum lactate
- Temperature
- Urine output
