A member asked:
What's the most common cause of death post cardiac arrest, 7 days after achieving rosc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same as the cause: Hi Stephen, Usually the cause of death is either the same as the disease that caused the cardiac arrest or as a result of secondary injury due to poor oxygenation to other organs. Poor oxygenation to organs can cause severe injury to the point of multi-organ failure.
