Post-cardiac arrest outcomes are similar following targeted hypercapnia versus normocapnia
1. In this randomized controlled trial, for patients in a coma post-cardiac arrest, neurologic outcomes were similar at six months between those receiving targeted mild hypercapnia compared to normocapnia. 2. Mortality rates were also comparable at six months between the mild hypercapnia and normocapnia groups. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Study Rundown: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy results
