“…These patients were relatively young, with shockable rhythms and OHCA witnessed by bystanders. A previous case series also reported that some patients with severe acidemia could achieve good recovery from OHCA in some situations [32]. Furthermore, in our study, the discrimination ability of pH (AUC_ROC) was 0.675 [95% CI 0.573-0.763], which is not adequately high for predicting the neurological outcome definitely.…”

“…100% specific). In our population, the lowest post-ROSC pH in a patient experiencing a favorable neurologic outcome was 6.94, however reports exist of full neurologic recovery at pH 6.33-6.85, primarily occurring in young patients with known cardiovascular triggers of arrest (32).…”

“…Indeed, acidosis is a cardiotoxic state and can impair oxygen delivery to tissues, making resuscitation attempts even more difficult. Cases of ROSC with full recovery in patients with intra-arrest acidosis below this have been documented in hemorrhagic shock, raised anion-gap acidosis, and drowning, but not following PE-induced cardiac arrest [ 17 ]. This raises the ethical debate as to when to cease resuscitation efforts in cases of potentially reversible cardiac arrest causes and what defines the "point of futility".…”
