Post-Cardiac Arrest Care

Post-cardiac arrest care involves identifying and treating the underlying cause of a cardiac arrest, supporting vital functions like breathing and blood flow, and preventing further brain injury. It includes measures such as controlling body temperature to reduce brain damage, providing medications to stabilize heart rhythm, and performing diagnostic tests to find the cause. The goal is to optimize the patient's recovery by ensuring the brain and organs get enough oxygen and nutrients while managing complications. This comprehensive approach helps improve survival chances and neurological outcomes after a person has experienced a cardiac arrest.
