Implementation of the New Guidelines on the Management of Patients Resuscitated From Cardiac Arrest and Impact on Survival: a Multicenter Retrospective Observational Study
The study aims to evaluate the level of local implementation of the new interventions introduced by the guidelines for post-cardiac arrest management and their impact on the survival of patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest and admitted to intensive care over a 14-year period. During this time period, the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) introduced three new guidelines for post-cardiac arrest management, each five years apart: the 2010, 2015, and 2021 guidelines.
• Patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest and admitted to intensive care unit
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Out-of-hospital and in-hospital cardiac arrest
• Cardiac arrest of any etiology
