Oximetry-Guided Reoxygenation Improves Neurological Outcome After Experimental Cardiac Arrest

摘要

Background and PurposeCurrent guidelines suggest that cardiac arrest (CA) survivors should be ventilated with 100% O2 after resuscitation. Breathing 100% O2 may worsen neurological outcome after experimental CA. This study tested the hypothesis that graded reoxygenation, with oximetry guidance, can safely reduce FiO2 after resuscitation, avoiding hypoxia while promoting neurological recovery.
