    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.

    Increased blood glucose variability is associated with increased mortality and unfavourable neurological outcome after cardiac arrest.157,171 Based on the available data, following ROSC maintain the blood glucose at ≤10 mmol l−1 (180 mg dl−1) and avoid hypoglycaemia.172 Do not implement strict glucose control in adult patients with ROSC after cardiac arrest because it increases the risk of hypoglycaemia.

    There is some evidence that, irrespective of the target range, variability in glucose values is associated with mortality.693 Based on the available data, following ROSC blood glucose should be maintained at ≤10 mmol l−1 (180 mg dl−1).694 Hypoglycaemia should be avoided.

    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).
