Question

which statement about post-resuscitation management is correct? 1 (Correct):Maintain normocapnia (normal carbon dioxide levels) through appropriate ventilation to ensure adequate oxygenation and prevent hypercapnia. 2 (Incorrect):Allow permissive hypercapnia to reduce the risk of lung injury during post-resuscitation. 3 (Incorrect):Administer high-flow oxygen regardless of oxygen saturation levels to maximize tissue oxygenation. 4 (Incorrect):Hyperventilate the patient to maintain a low partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) to enhance cerebral perfusion.

Answer 1

The correct statement about post-resuscitation management is to maintain normocapnia through appropriate ventilation to ensure adequate oxygenation and prevent hypercapnia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about post-resuscitation management is option 1: Maintain normocapnia (normal carbon dioxide levels) through appropriate ventilation to ensure adequate oxygenation and prevent hypercapnia.

Permissive hypercapnia (option 2) is not recommended during post-resuscitation, as it can increase the risk of lung injury.

Administering high-flow oxygen regardless of oxygen saturation levels (option 3) is not necessary and can potentially be harmful.

Hyperventilating the patient to maintain a low partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) (option 4) is also not recommended as it can reduce cerebral perfusion.
