Elevated prehospital point-of-care glucose is associated with worse neurologic outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Elevated prehospital point-of-care glucose is associated with worse neurologic outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Objectives: Hyperglycemia is associated with poor outcomes in critically-ill patients. This has implications for prognostication of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and for post-resuscitation care. We assessed the association of hyperglycemia, on field point-of-care (POC) testing,...
