    AbstractCardiac arrest remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, although contemporary care now enables potential survival with good neurologic outcome. The core acute management goals for survivors of cardiac arrest are to provide organ support, sustain adequate hemodynamics, and evaluate the underlying cause of the cardiac arrest. In this article, the authors review the current state of knowledge and clinical intensive care unit practice recommendations for patients after cardiac arrest, particularly focusing on important areas of uncertainty, such as targeted temperature management, neuroprognostication, coronary evaluation, and hemodynamic targets.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
