The Association Between Arterial Carbon Dioxide Tension and Outcomes After Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Introduction: Arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) elimination is impaired during cardiac arrest (CA) due to inadequate perfusion of the lungs. Both high and low PaCO2 after return of spontaneous circulation from CA are common due to accumulation of CO2 during CA and excessive mechanical ventilation resp...
