From: Prognostic value of venous blood analysis at the start of CPR in non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: association with ROSC and the neurological outcome

a Relationship between the percentages of recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 30-day survival with good neurological outcome (CPC I-II) and the values of pH and pCO2 expressed in ranges evaluated in the multivariate binary logistic regression. b Relationship between the percentages of survival with good neurological outcome (CPC I-II) and the values of base excess (BE) and K+ expressed in ranges evaluated in the multivariate binary logistic regression. Venous blood-gas variables, including alterations in blood potassium, are associated with neurological outcomes. Low pH, a raised pCO2 and a high base deficit, as well as either very low or high blood concentration of potassium, were associated with worse outcome
