Intervention
Integrated post-resuscitation care (including targeted temperature management, early coronary angiography, and comprehensive critical care)
Integrated post-resuscitation care, including targeted temperature management and early angiography, is crucial for improving survival and neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest, though evidence for in-hospital arrest remains limited.
Limitations
- Evidence for post-resuscitation care following in-hospital cardiac arrest is largely extrapolated from studies in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
