Association Between Elevated Mean Arterial Blood Pressure and Neurologic Outcome After Resuscitation From Cardiac Arrest: Results From a Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Laboratory studies suggest elevated blood pressure after resuscitation from cardiac arrest may be protective; however, clinical data are limited. We sought to test the hypothesis that elevated postresuscitation mean arterial blood pressure is associated with neurologic outcome.

Design

Preplanned analysis of a prospective cohort study.

Setting

Six academic hospitals in the United States.

Patients

Adult, nontraumatic cardiac arrest patients treated with targeted temperature management after return of spontaneous circulation.

Interventions

Mean arterial blood pressure was measured noninvasively after return of spontaneous circulation and every hour during the initial 6 hours after return of spontaneous circulation.
