Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and postcardiac arrest care continues to advance. However, some aspects of cardiac arrest management still lack robust scientific evidence yet are applied in clinical practice, and many areas remain under active investigation. Moreover, since relatively few studies have focused exclusively on patients with cardiac arrest, much of their management in the ICU continues to rely on evidence derived from general critical care.
The Special Issue “Cardiac Arrest and Postcardiac Arrest Care: State of the Art and Future Directions” will focus on the following topics:
- Postcardiac Arrest Syndrome;
- Postcardiac Arrest Care in the ICU;
- Targeted Temperature Management;
- Strategies to improve survival and neurological outcomes after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
We sincerely welcome contributions from leading experts in the field of resuscitation and look forward to receiving cutting-edge research exploring the topics outlined above.
