Abstract

The article discusses the treatment protocol for patients who have experienced a cardiac arrest and have regained spontaneous circulation. It emphasizes that the type of heart rhythm should not be labeled, as this can lead to the administration of medications that may cause recurrent cardiac arrest. Instead, the focus should be on treating hypotension with intravenous fluids or vasopressor/inotropic therapy. The article also highlights the importance of identifying and treating the underlying causes of cardiac arrest to prevent recurrence. Overall, the article provides guidance on post-cardiac arrest care and emphasizes the need for individualized treatment based on the patient's condition. [Extracted from the article]
