Cardiac arrest & resuscitation

Impact of mild hypercapnia on renal function after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

ResuscitationPublished Secondary analysis of the TAME randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

AKI occurred in approximately two-thirds and RRT in approximately one in ten TAME patients without differences according to treatment allocation. CS significantly increased the prevalence of AKI but this effect was not modified by carbon dioxide allocation.
