Cerebral oxygen monitoring during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation is not routinely monitored during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) but can be assessed using cerebral oxygen monitoring (COM). This non-invasive technique provides real-time measurements of brain oxygenation. The aim of this scoping review (ScR) was to map and describe published studies on the use of COM in OHCA in prehospital and emergency department (ED) settings.

Methods

This review followed the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses ScR (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. Peer-reviewed primary studies reporting the use of COM in OHCA patients in prehospital and/or ED settings were eligible. MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched
