Manage episode 453351219 series 3289457
The goal of CPR is to keep the brain and vital organs perfused until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved.
Post-arrest care and recovery are the final two links in the chain of survival.
Identification of ROSC during CPR.
Initial patient management goals after identifying ROSC.
The patient’s GCS/LOC should be evaluated to determine if targeted temperature management (TTM) is indicated.
Patients that cannot obey simple commands should receive TTM for at least 24 hours.
