Critical Care Management of Patients After Cardiac Arrest: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association and Neurocritical Care Society

Circulation

NOVEMBER 28, 2023

Circulation, Ahead of Print. The critical care management of patients after cardiac arrest is burdened by a lack of high-quality clinical studies and the resultant lack of high-certainty evidence. Critical care management is crucial in patients after cardiac arrest and affects outcome.

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, Ahead of Print. Admissions to CICUs with the highest tertile of CCRx utilization had a greater burden of comorbidities, had more diagnoses of ST–elevation myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cardiogenic shock, and had higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores.

They shocked him twice before return of spontaneous circulation. Given the presentation, the cardiologist stented the vessel and the patient returned to the ICU for ongoing critical care. Frick's presentation in today's case is its simplicity in conveying a critically important finding affecting the outcome of this patient.

If cardiac arrest from hypokalemia is imminent (i.e., mEq of K pushed fast and circulated theoretically would raise serum K immediately by 1.0 As I indicated above, in our cardiac arrest case, after pushing 40 mEq, the K only went up to 4.2 Crit Care Med.
