Hello.
I'm curious about post cardiac arrest managment. How does everyone go about managing the post return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) patient prior to and during transport to hospital?
Namely:
-How do you manage time/transport? Do you throw the patient straight on the gurney as soon as you get ROSC, or do you attempt to manage any problems prior to moving?
-What blood pressure do you accept as being adequate?
-If you manage blood pressure actively, how do you do so?
-How do you manage airway and ventilation/oxygenation?
-Do you use therapeutic hypothermia, and if so, by what method?
and finally, if you know it, what are your survival to discharge rates for patients presenting in VT/VF?
Thanks for your time.
