Advanced hemodynamic monitoring during post-resuscitation care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a scoping review

ResuscitationPublished Scoping review

Authors' conclusion

Advanced hemodynamic monitoring after OHCA remains heterogeneous, with a focus mainly on MAP and cardiac output. No single variable was consistently associated with prognosis or treatment response, although low SvO2 and elevated pulmonary artery pressure were associated with worse outcomes.
