Structured diagnostic strategies for psychological problems in cardiac arrest survivors: an important knowledge gap

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to determine if structured diagnostic strategies for identifying psychological, emotional, or cognitive issues in cardiac arrest survivors lead to improved outcomes for patients and their supporters. Their systematic review found no eligible studies to support evidence-based recommendations for effective screening and care pathways, highlighting a critical gap in the current understanding and management of these sequelae. They call for urgent pragmatic studies to test reproducible screening-to-care pathways against standard care practices.
