Why the study?
Although recommended by ERC and ESICM guidelines, a framework for delivering post-cardiac arrest care systematically in dedicated high-volume cardiac arrest centers was lacking in the literature.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The Copenhagen Framework provides a structured, multidisciplinary clinical pathway that operationalizes international guideline recommendations for post-resuscitation care, early cognitive and psychological screening, and rehabilitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors and their families.
Although recommended in the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) Guidelines, a framework for delivering post-cardiac arrest care in a systematic manner in dedicated high-volume cardiac arrest centers is lacking in the existing literature. To our knowledge, the Copenhagen Framework is the only established framework of its kind. The framework comprises management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors, and follow-up, and rehabilitation. The framework also incorporates research projects on cardiac arrest survivors and their close family members. The overall aim of this paper is to describe a framework made in order to bridge the gaps between international recommendations and delivering high-quality post-resuscitation clinical care, improving the continuity of care for OHCA survivors, access to post-CA rehabilitation, a seamless transition to everyday life, and ultimately patient outcomes in the future.
