Hemodynamic-Directed Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Improves Neurologic Outcomes and Mitochondrial Function in the Heart and Brain

Abstract

In a model of asphyxia-associated pediatric cardiac arrest, hemodynamic-directed cardiopulmonary resuscitation increases rates of 24-hour survival with favorable neurologic outcome, intra-arrest hemodynamics, and cerebral and myocardial mitochondrial respiration.
