Cerebral injury, myocardial dysfunction, systemic ischemia and reperfusion response, and precipitating pathology after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) constitute post-cardiac arrest syndrome. Because the entire body is involved in cardiac arrest and the early post-arrest period, protocolized post-arrest care consisting of cardiovascular optimization, ventilation and oxygenation adjustment, coronary revascularization, targeted temperature management (TTM), and control of seizures and blood sugar would benefit survival and neurological outcomes. Emergent coronary angiography is suggested for cardiac arrest survivors suspected of having ST-elevation myocardial infarction, however the superiority of culprit or complete revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary lesions remains undetermined. High-quality TTM should be considered for comatose patients who are successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest, however the optimal target temperature may depend on the severity of their condition. The optimal timing for making prognostication should be no earlier than 72 h after rewarming in TTM patients, and 72 h following ROSC in non-TTM patients. To predict neurological recovery correctly may need the use of several prognostic tools together, including clinical neurological examinations, brain images, neurological studies and biomarkers. |
