What is the goal SBP for post-arrest management?

The target systolic blood pressure (SBP) for post-arrest management is set at 100 mmHg. This level is critical for ensuring that adequate perfusion is restored to vital organs following a cardiac arrest event. Maintaining a systolic blood pressure at or above 100 mmHg helps to optimize coronary perfusion pressure, which is essential for the recovery of cardiac function and brain perfusion.

Attaining this specific blood pressure can significantly enhance the likelihood of a favorable neurological outcome in post-cardiac arrest patients, facilitating healing and recovery. Furthermore, evidence suggests that higher SBP targets could lead to increased complications or adverse events, while lower targets may not provide sufficient perfusion to vital organs, particularly the brain and heart. Thus, the choice of 100 mmHg is a carefully considered benchmark based on clinical guidelines and research in the field of emergency medicine.
