Key points of sistematic analysis about ALS managent of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA):
-
No evidence that any of the commonly used vasoactive drugs are beneficial on neurological outcome
-
Controversial evidences on antiarrhythmics drugs effectivness
-
Only good quality CPR and electric therapy improves outcome
-
Ultra Sonography for diagnosis of underliyng reversible causes and targeted therapies on individual patient’s response must be implemented
-
EtCO2, Near-infrared spectometry, VF analysis, Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation must be part of future management
And ROSC is not the finish line but only a step to it. More and more voices are rising toward the definition of an Early Goal Directed Post-Resuscitative Care!
