Efficacy of anti-hyperkalemic agents during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

We assessed the efficacy of anti-hyperkalemic agents for alleviating hyperkalemia and improving clinical outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods

This was a single-center, retrospective observational study of OHCA patients treated at tertiary hospitals between 2010 and 2020. Adult patients aged 18 or older who were in cardiac arrest at the time of arrival and had records of potassium levels measured during cardiac arrest were included. A linear regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between changes in potassium levels and use of anti-hyperkalemic medications. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between the use of anti-hyperkalemic agents and the achievement of return of spo
