Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Cardiac power output is associated with cardiovascular related mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) in post-cardiac arrest patients
Authors' conclusion
In post-CA patients, the 8-hour CPO is an independent factor associated with ICU cardiovascular-related mortality.
Study context
- Population
- Adult comatose survivors of cardiac arrest admitted to a university hospital ICU, excluding ECPR, ECMO or intra-aortic balloon pump61.8% OHCA
- Participants
- 217 survivors
- Exposure
- Survivors vs non-survivors
- Non-survivorsn = 142
- Outcome
- Association of CPO with early ICU mortality and with mortality related to post-CA cardiovascular failure
- Follow-up
- First 72 hours after ROSC

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
CPO, survivors vs non-survivors; CPO and CV-related mortality
- Cardiac power output (CPO) significantly different between survivors and non-survivors only at +8 h after cardiac arrest (CA)
- p = 0.0042
- 8-h CPO independently associated with CV-related mortality (multivariable analysis)
- p = 0.007
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
- ICU death
- 142 (65.4%)
- Death from neurological injury
- 99 (69.7%)
- Death from CV-related causes
- 43 (30.3%)
