The impact of intestinal injury in cardiac arrest is not established. The first aim of this study was to assess associations between clinical characteristics in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and a biomarker for intestinal injury, Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (IFABP). The second aim was to assess associations between IFABP and multiple organ dysfunction and 30-day mortality. ⋯ Cardiac arrest duration and lactate serum concentrations were risk factors for intestinal injury. High levels of IFABP at admission were associated with multiple organ dysfunction and mortality.
