The effects of exposure to severe hyperoxemia on neurological outcome and mortality after cardiac arrest.

Introduction: Hyperoxemia during cardiac arrest (CA) may increase chances of successful resuscitation. However, episodes of severe hyperoxemia after intensive care unit admission occurs frequently (up to 60%), and these have been associated with higher mortality in CA patients. The impact of severe hyperoxemia on neurological outcome is more unclear.

Targeted Temperature Management after Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis with Trial Sequential Analysis.

Target temperature management (TTM) in cardiac arrest (CA) survivors is recommended after hospital admission for its possible beneficial effects on survival and neurological outcome. Whether a lower target temperature (i.e.

Cerebral regional oxygen saturation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and return of spontaneous circulation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: Predicting the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in victims of cardiac arrest (CA) remains challenging. Cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measured during resuscitation is feasible, and higher initial and overall values seem associated with ROSC. However, these observations were limited to the analysis of few small single-centre studies.

Prevalence of burnout among intensive care physicians: a systematic review.

Objective: We performed a systematic review to summarize the knowledge regarding the prevalence of burnout among intensive care unit physicians.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the MEDLINE and PubMed® databases (last update 04.02.
