Haemodynamics and vasopressor support during prolonged targeted temperature management for 48 hours after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a post hoc substudy of a randomised clinical trial

Background Comatose patients admitted after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest frequently experience haemodynamic instability and anoxic brain injury. Targeted temperature management is used for neuroprotection; however, targeted temperature management also affects patients’ haemodynamic status. This study assessed the haemodynamic status of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors during prolonged (48 hours) targeted temperature management at 33°C....
