2015, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :There is a strong association between high blood glucose after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and poor neurological outcome.261,439,440 Based on the available data, following ROSC maintain the blood glucose at ≤10 mmol l−1 (180 mg dl−1) and avoid hypoglycaemia.441 Do not implement strict glucose control in adult patients with ROSC after cardiac arrest because it increases the risk of hypoglycaemia.

Adverse events and their relation to mortality in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia
2011, Critical Care MedicineCitation Excerpt :Thus, the magnitude of hyperglycemia may reflect the severity of the clinical insult. The best target level for glycemic control remains controversial (39). Very strict glycemic control might not be desirable, because tight control does not seem to improve outcome but is associated with more episodes of hypoglycemia (40, 41).
