Care of the patient with ROSC following OHCA can be complex and typically includes a protocolized approach to optimizing oxygenation, ventilation, hemodynamics, early cardiac catheterization for patients with STEMI, seizure detection, and possibly TTM. In this podcast, we review two recent articles that focused on the use of mild hypercapnia compared with normocapnia in post arrest patients and the use of a pan-CT protocol to detect critical time sensitive conditions and complications.
In recent years, there has been intense focus on delivering high-quality compressions during the resuscitation of patients with OHCA. In contrast, ventilation metrics in...
The incidence of opioid-associated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests continues to rise. Current guidelines for the resuscitation of patients with OHCA advise the clinician to consider...
Accurate assessment of intravascular volume is critical in managing sick patients in the emergency department or intensive care unit. In this podcast we discuss...
