Summary

The management of unresponsive post-cardiac arrest patients has been an area of much controversy and research. Interventions during the arrest, particularly no-pause cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the advent of the automated external defibrillator have placed patients in a better position to respond to post-resuscitative measures. The initiation of post-arrest therapeutic hypothermia protocols, now referred to as targeted temperature management (TTM), has resulted in significant improvement in the number of neurologically intact survivors. Post-arrest care is centered on TTM, but includes a series of protocolized steps that define the measures to be taken to optimize outcome in these patients. Post-arrest care is the fifth and final link in the American Heart Association’s out-of-hospital chain of survival.
