Resumption of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after prolonged, complete, whole-body ischemia creates a pathophysiological state following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The components of post cardiac arrest syndrome comprise post cardiac arrest brain injury, myocardial dysfunction, systemic ischemia/reperfusion response and persistent precipitating pathology. So a comprehensive, structured, multidisciplinary system of care should be implemented in a consistent manner for the treatment among eligible post- cardiac arrest patients. Management of post cardiac arrest care include initial stabilization, general and specific intensive care and monitoring, hemodynamic optimization, circulatory and respiratory support, urgent angioplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention, optimizing neurological recovery include therapeutic hypothermia, sedation and neuromuscular support, seizure control, glycemic control, and neurological, physical and cardiac rehabilitation restore normal functioning for survivors.Keywords

Patient safety is a serious global public health issue. Estimates show that in developed countries as many as one in 10 patients is harmed while receiving hospital care. Increasingly complex healthcare, involvement of multiple disciplines and varied sources of information all contribute to the increasing likelihood and impact of medical errors. Different approaches and methods have been utilized and applied to optimize patient safety issues worldwide. Human factors and ergonomics provides a ‘tried and true’ framework for building and strengthening that elusive safety culture by correcting the mismatch between individuals, the equipments, systems, and process in which they work in, we can improve patient safety.Keywords
