Surviving cardiac arrest.
Surviving cardiac arrest requires high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, advanced life support interventions, and optimal post-cardiac arrest care. After return of spontaneous circulation and stabilization of airway, breathing, and circulation, the focus shifts to the treatment of post-cardiac arrest syndrome. Research indicates this unique and complex syndrome requires specific treatment strategies.
