Fluid balance and outcome in cardiac arrest patients admitted to intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although shock following cardiac arrest is common and contributes significantly to mortality, the influence of the modalities used to manage the hemodynamic situation, particularly with regard to fluid balance, remains unclear. We evaluated the association between positive fluid balance and outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods

We conducted a multicenter study from August 2020 to June 2022, which consecutively enrolled adult OHCA patients in 17 intensive care units. The primary endpoint was 90-day survival. Multivariate Cox analysis, propensity score matching and landmark analysis were performed, along with several sensitivity analyses.

Results

Of the 816 patients included in our study, 74% had a positive fluid balance, and 291 of 816
