Why it matters

This guideline synthesizes the latest evidence to standardize post-cardiac arrest care, directly impacting clinical decisions in the ICU and emergency department. It provides updated, evidence-based targets for blood pressure, oxygenation, ventilation, glucose, and temperature management, and refines neuroprognostication to avoid premature withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy.
