Article Synopsis
- A study examined the relationship between serum phosphate levels and patient outcomes in cardiac arrest (CA) victims who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
- Elevated phosphate levels (greater than 2.7 mmol/L) were found to significantly predict higher mortality rates and impaired neurological function in CA patients upon discharge.
- The research included analysis of data from both a German hospital and a larger multi-centric cohort, finding consistent results that suggest phosphate level testing may enhance prognostic accuracy after CPR.
