DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.08.044
Abstract: PURPOSE Fluid boluses (FB) are often used in post-cardiac arrest (CA) patients with haemodynamic instability. Although FB may improve cardiac output (CO) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), FB may also increase central venous pressure (CVP),… read more here.
