- Guidelines suggest maintaining normal carbon dioxide levels for adults in a coma resuscitated from cardiac arrest, but mild higher levels may help increase brain blood flow and improve outcomes.
- In a study involving 1,700 patients, participants were randomly assigned to either mild hypercapnia or normocapnia for 24 hours and were assessed 6 months later for neurologic recovery.
- Results showed no significant difference in favorable neurological outcomes or mortality between the two groups, indicating that mild hypercapnia did not improve recovery compared to normal levels.
