Cardiac Power Output is associated with cardiovascular related mortality in the ICU in post-cardiac arrest patients

Although brain injury is the main determinant of poor outcome following cardiac arrest (CA), cardiovascular failure is the leading cause of death within the first days after CA. However, it remains unclear which hemodynamic parameter is most suitable for its early recognition. We investigated the association of cardiac power output (CPO) with early mortality in intensive care unit(ICU) after CA and with mortality related to post-CA cardiovascular failure.
