Question 31 · LEK · Post-resuscitation care

Intensive care of patients after sudden cardiac arrest includes keeping:

1) glycemia about 180 mg/dL;
2) pCO₂ values about 30 mmHg;
3) pO₂ values about 100 mmHg;
4) body temperature about 32-34°C.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2.
  2. B. 1,3.
  3. C. 3,4.
  4. D. 1,4.
  5. E. 2,4.
Hint

Post-arrest care aims at normal blood gases, avoids hyperglycaemia and uses targeted temperature management; check each value against that.
