The true incidence and outcome of cardiac arrest within the intensive care unit (ICU) is unknown. In a systematic review, Efendijev et al.1 noted the incidence of ICU cardiac arrest varied from 5.6 to 78.1 cardiac arrests per 1000 ICU admissions. They concluded ‘data on intensive care ...
Emerging evidence has further elucidated optimal care of post-arrest patients including timing for routine coronary angiography, utility of therapeutic hypothermia, permissive hypercapnia, and empiric aspiration pneumonia treatment. Summary The complicated state of multi-organ failure following cardiac arrest ne...

considerable future work is required to clarify the indications, utility and efficacy of invasive neuromonitoring post cardiac arrest beyond research use. Treatment of PCABI At present, there is no direct treatment for PCABI and as such, secondary injury to the brain should be minimised by ...

Thus, it is difficult to further clarify the association between total spinal anesthesia and cardiac arrest. In some case reports, pneumorrhachis or pneumocephalus developed after basic life support, and this possibility cannot be excluded [17]. No empiric treatment guidelines or standards of care ...
"Patients whose pathophysiology allows for rapid reversal after in-hospitalcardiac arrest, such as the patient with myocardial infarction…have a strong potential for survival and should receive aggressive treatment, both during and after resuscitation," he states....
Although racial disparities in survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest among Black and white people are known, both groups had similar chances of receiving an intensive care unit (ICU) evaluation before a cardiac arrest. Receiving an ICU evaluation pri
People who went into cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization lab were more likely to survive to hospital discharge than those who had a cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit (ICU), yet less likely to survive than those who had an arrest in the operating room (OR), according to p...
