Syndrome post-réanimation de l'arrêt cardiaque

Post-rescucitation syndrome is related to multiple organ failure following ischaemia and reperfusion of all the organs after cardiac arrest. This syndrome accounts for most of deaths in patients surviving immediately after cardiac arrest rescucitation. A few therapeutic agents have been documented to be effective such as dobutamine that improves left ventricular dysfunction and mild hypothermia that improves neurologic outcome and mortality. Further alternative treatments are under investigation.
