The association between post resuscitation hemoglobin level and survival with good neurological outcome following Out Of Hospital cardiac arrest.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

to explore the association between post return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) hemoglobin level and survival with good neurological outcome following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Methods

We studied adults with non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who achieved ROSC within 50min of collapse. We quantified the association between post ROSC hemoglobin level and good neurological outcome (defined as Cerebral Performance Category score of 1or 2), using multivariate logistic regression analyses. The impact of Post ROSC hemoglobin level ≥10gdl(-1) and time varying hemoglobin level ≥10gdl(-1) on time to Survival with good outcome was assessed using Cox proportional hazard models.

Results

Of 931 cardiac arrest patients, 146 (16%) achieved ROSC and 30 survived
