title: [Post-resuscitation syndrome--management].
abstract: Despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines and their regular updates, the results of cardiac arrest victims treatment are still disappointingly poor. Complex treatment including providing artificial ventilation, circulatory support and prevention of secondary damage from ischemia and hypoxia is a complicated process and its result is unpredictable. The aim of the paper is to present the main steps in post-resuscitation syndrome treatment including ventilatory and circulatory stabilization, central nervous system protection and prognostic value of biochemical and neurophysiological tests.
