    AbstractCaring in the emergency department for the patient with return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest is challenging. A coordinated and systematic approach to post-cardiac arrest care can improve the mortality and the chance of meaningful neurologic recovery. By achieving appropriate targets for oxygenation, ventilation, and hemodynamic parameters, along with initiating therapeutic hypothermia and arranging early percutaneous coronary intervention, the emergency physician can have the most significant impact on patients who have just been revived from death.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
