Post-cardiac arrest mortality remains high and proper care after cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an important clinical challenge. This prospective observational cohort aims to (1) identify the factors that affect short-term and long-term survival in post-cardiac arrest survivors and (2) investigate the patients and their families' health-related quality of life and psychological well-being.

Pregnant
Terminally ill cancer patients or cancer patients who are unwilling to receive treatment
When the ICU is over capacity and unable to provide intensive care.

Cohort
Prospective
Not listed
Post-cardiac arrest survival
Post-cardiac arrest survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Neurological outcome - GCS
Using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of the patients, with scores ranging from 3 to 15, and higher scores indicating a better outcome.
Neurological outcome - CPC
Cerebral performance categories (CPC) of the patients, with categories 1 and 2 as favorable outcomes, and categories 3 to 5 as unfavorable outcomes
Functional outcome
Self-reported assessment using the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Index (MPAI-4) for the patients. This is a 29-item scale with overall scores ranging from 0 to 111, and lower scores indicating a better outcome and greater community reintegration post-injury.
