ABSTRACT
Perioperative cardiac arrest is a significant cause of perioperative mortality in patients.The first clinical practice recommendation dedicated to the management of perioperative cardiac arrest was published in 2021 and contains 22 specific recommendations.This clinical practice recommendation includes indicators to monitor during treatment, the sequence of defibrillation and chest compressions, the use of epinephrine and antiarrhythmic drugs, treatment strategies for specific types of perioperative cardiac arrest, the use of adjunctive therapies such as ultrasound to assist in treatment, setting appropriate hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, and temperature management.This clinical practice recommendation is essential for effective management of perioperative cardiac arrest and will also provide guidance for further exploration of the management of perioperative cardiac arrest in the future.
