AbstractPost cardiac arrest syndrome is associated with high morbidity and mortality, which is related not only to a poor neurological outcome but also to respiratory and cardiovascular dysfunctions. The control of gas exchange, and in particular oxygenation and carbon dioxide levels, is fundamental in mechanically ventilated patients after resuscitation, as arterial blood gases derangement might have important effects on the cerebral blood flow and systemic physiology.In particular, the pathophysiological role of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels is strongly underestimated, as its alterations quickly affect also the changes of intracellular pH, and consequently influence metabolic energy and oxygen demand. Hypo/hypercapnia, as well as mechanical ventilation during and after resuscitation, can affect CO2 levels and trigger a dangerous pathophysiological vicious circle related to the relationship between pH, cellular demand, and catecholamine levels. The developing hypocapnia can nullify the beneficial effects of the hypothermia. The aim of this review was to describe the pathophysiology and clinical consequences of arterial blood gases and pH after cardiac arrest.According to our findings, the optimal ventilator strategies in post cardiac arrest patients are not fully understood, and oxygen and carbon dioxide targets should take in consideration a complex pattern of pathophysiological factors. Further studies are warranted to define the optimal settings of mechanical ventilation in patients after cardiac arrest.

Aim: In a previous study, low and high-normal arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO 2 ) were not associated with serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) in cardiac arrest survivors. We assessed the effect of PaCO 2 on NSE in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. Methods: This was a retrospective study. PaCO 2 for the first 24 h was analysed in four means, qualitative exposure state (qES), time-weighted average (TWA), median, and minimum-maximum (Min-Max). These subgroups were divided into low (LCO 2 ) and high PaCO 2 (HCO 2 ) groups defined as PaCO 2 ≤35.3 and PaCO 2 >43.5 mmHg, respectively. NSE was measured at 24, 48, and 72 h (sNSE 24,48,72 and cNSE 24,48,72 ) from return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The primary outcome was the association between PaCO 2 and the NSE measured at 24 h after ROSC. Results: Forty-two subjects (male, 33; 78.6%) were included in total cohort. PaCO 2 in TWA subgroup was associated with cNSE 24,48,72 , while PaCO 2 in the other subgroup were only associated with cNSE 24 . PaCO 2 and cNSE in qES subgroup showed good correlation (r= -0.61; p< 0.01), and in TWA, Median, and Min-Max subgroup showed moderate correlations (r= -0.57, r= -0.48, and r= -0.60; p< 0.01). Contrastively, sNSE was not associated and correlated with PaCO 2 in all analysis. Poor neurological outcome in LCO 2 was significantly higher than HCO 2 in qES, TWA, and Median subgroups ( p< 0.01, p< 0.01, and p= 0.02). Conclusion: Association was found between NSE and PaCO 2 using CSF, despite including normocapnic ranges; TWA of PaCO 2 may be most strongly associated with CSF NSE levels. A prospective, multi-centre study is required to confirm our results.
