The effect of carbon dioxide on near-death experiences in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors: a prospective observational study

Zalika Klemenc-Ketis, Janko Kersnik, Stefek Grmec Critical Care 2010, 14:R56 (8 April 2010)

Increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood was associated with the occurrence of near death experiences in a sample of 52 patients surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide successful predicts cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the field: a prospective observational study

Miran Kolar, Miljenko Križmarić, Petra Klemen2, Štefek Grmec Critical Care 2008, 12:R115 (11 September 2008)

End-tidal carbon dioxide levels greater than 1.9 kPa after 20 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation accurately predict survival following cardiac arrest and should be monitored during treatment.

Effects of epinephrine and vasopressin on end-tidal carbon dioxide tension and mean arterial blood pressure in out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation: an observational study

Stefan Mally, Alina Jelatancev, Stefek Grmec Critical Care 2007, 11:R39 (21 March 2007)

Vasopressor therapy (vasopressin followed by epinephrine) improves restoration of spontaneous circulation as well as short-term survival and neurological outcome in cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared to treatment with epinephrine alone.
