Abstract
BACKGROUND
Treatment after cardiac arrest has become more complex and interdisciplinary over the last few years. Thus, the clinically active intensive and emergency care physician not only has to carry out the immediate care and acute diagnostics, but also has to prognosticate the neurological outcome.
AIM
The different, most important steps are presented by leading experts in the area, taking into account the interdisciplinarity and the currently valid guidelines.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Attention was paid to a concise, practice-oriented presentation.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The practical guide contains all important steps from the acute care to the neurological prognosis generation that are relevant for the clinically active intensive care physician.
