In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a prominent cause of death worldwide, and studies show documented survival rates for IHCA ranging from 0% to 42%. [1][2][3][4] The high mortality rate of patients who initially achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA) can be attributed to post-cardiac arrest syndrome, which includes myocardial dysfunction, systemic ischemia/reperfusion response, anoxic cerebral injury, and persistent precipitating pathology. 5 Several modifiable factors have been investigated in the search of clinical paths to optimize treatment. The role of supplemental oxygen post-CA has gained increased attention recently. A cohort study suggested early post-resuscitation hyperoxia as an independent predictor of poor neurological function. 6 Several observational studies, including two large meta-analyzes indicate hyperoxia after
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
