Mean arterial pressure is associated with the neurological function in patients who survived after cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: About 18% to 40% of the survivors have moderate to severe neurological dysfunction. At present, studies on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and neurological function of patients survived after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are limited and conflicted.

Hypothesis: The higher the MAP of the patient who survived after CPR, the better the neurological function.
