Current guidelines suggest that cardiac arrest (CA) survivors should be ventilated with 100% O(2) after resuscitation. Breathing 100% O(2) may worsen neurological outcome after experimental CA. This study tested the hypothesis that graded reoxygenation, with oximetry guidance, can safely reduce FiO(2) after resuscitation, avoiding hypoxia while promoting neurological recovery.
