The interaction between arterial oxygenation and carbon dioxide and hospital mortality following out of hospital cardiac arrest: a cohort study
Abstract Background Outcomes following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are poor. The optimal arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels for managing patients following OHCA are unknown. We hypothesized that abnormalities in arterial oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2 ratio or PaO2) and PaCO2 would...
