Core Tip Post-cardiac arrest syndrome remains associated with high mortality and poor neurological outcomes despite advances in resuscitation care. This review summarizes the current evidence on comprehensive post-resuscitation management, including hemodynamic optimization, coronary interventions, targeted temperature management, ventilation, metabolic support, sedation, and multimodal neuroprognostication. Current evidence increasingly favors strict fever prevention and individualized management strategies over uniform protocol-driven targets. Early multidisciplinary care and cautious delayed neuroprognostication remain critical to minimizing secondary neurologic injury and improving outcomes after cardiac arrest.
