Abstract

Resuscitation from cardiac arrest with global ischemia restores spontaneous circulation in some patients; however, survival depends on many factors associated with post cardiac arrest syndrome. During the last ten years, the understanding and control of these factors have improved the prognosis in a subgroup of patients.To describe the pathophysiology and current management of the post cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS).Narrative review of the literature using Medline via PubMed and Clinical Trials, using the terms MeSH cardiac arrest – Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and (no term MeSH) Post cardiac arrest syndrome.Clinical trials have established a set of management protocols and guidelines based on therapeutic objectives with survival rates exceeding 50% of the cardiac arrest victims.The management of this syndrome has actually strengthened the last link in the survival chain by standardizing the evaluation and selection of cardiac arrest victims via a therapeutic hypothermia protocol and early percutaneous coronary intervention.La reanimación en el paro cardiaco con isquemia global logra restablecer la circulación espontánea en algunos pacientes; sin embargo, la sobrevida depende de muchos factores que explican el síndrome posparo cardiaco. El entendimiento y el control de estos factores durante la última década han logrado mejorar el pronóstico en un subgrupo de pacientes.Describir la fisiopatología y el manejo actual del síndrome posparo cardiaco.Revisión narrativa de la literatura a través de las bases electrónicas de Medline vía PubMed y Ensayos Clínicos usando los términos MeSH Cardiac arrest – Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation y (el término no MeSH) Post cardiac arrest syndrome.Los estudios clínicos han establecido una serie de protocolos y guías de manejo basadas en objetivos terapéuticos con tasas de sobrevida que superan el 50% de las víctimas de paro cardiaco.Actualmente el manejo de este síndrome ha fortalecido el último eslabón dela cadena de supervivencia al estandarizar la evaluación y la selección de víctimas de paro cardiaco con un protocolo de hipotermia terapéutica e intervención coronaria percutánea precoz.
