Abstract

Survival after cardiac arrest is as low as 15–20 %. Resuscitation starts with advanced cardiac life support, consisting of chest compressions, mechanical ventilation, electrical defibrillation, and drug therapy. Detailed algorithms have been developed and published in international guidelines. After restoration of spontaneous circulation, resuscitation efforts continue on the intensive care unit. Normotension, normoglycemia, normocapnia, normoxemia, and targeted temperature management represent the basic principles of post-cardiac arrest care. Prognostication essentially relies on neurological examination of the patient. However, self-fulfilling prophecy is a risk and must be avoided carefully.
