Question

A 60-year-old man has ROSC after a 25-minute cardiac arrest. He is comatose. The ICU team initiates post-resuscitation care. According to the 2021 ERC/ESICM guidelines, what is the recommended approach to oxygenation targets in the post-ROSC period?

Accepted Answer

Titrate FiO2 to achieve SpO2 94-98% and avoid both hyperoxia and hypoxia

Answer

Maintain FiO2 at 1.0 throughout the first 24 hours

Answer

Target PaO2 >20 kPa to maximise cerebral oxygenation

Answer
