Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Adherence to post-cardiac arrest care guidelines and impact on survival and neurological outcome
Authors' conclusion
Following the implementation of updated post-CA care GLs, adherence to recommendations improved, particularly in haemodynamic management. Although no statistically significant improvements in survival or neurological outcomes were observed
