What should be done if a patient is hypotensive post-arrest?

Following a post-arrest situation, if a patient is hypotensive, managing their blood pressure effectively is crucial for their recovery. Administering a Normal Saline 1L bolus is a standard intervention aimed at increasing intravascular volume, which can help raise blood pressure. Hypotensive patients may struggle with adequate circulation, so fluid resuscitation is a primary strategy in such cases.

Furthermore, considering Push Dose Epinephrine can also be beneficial. This medication can help vasoconstrict and elevate blood pressure quickly, providing essential support for perfusion to vital organs. Together, these actions target the immediate needs of a hypotensive patient after a cardiac arrest, helping to stabilize them.

The other options do not adequately address the immediate concern of hypotension in this specific scenario. Reducing fluids and monitoring doesn't provide the necessary intervention to combat low blood pressure. Intubation is an advanced airway management technique that, while important in some post-arrest situations, does not directly resolve hypotension. Administering opioid pain medication is not appropriate either, as it could further depress blood pressure and would not help improve the patient's hemodynamic status.
