TL;DR
Postresuscitation abnormalities after cardiac arrest mimic the immunologic and coagulation disorders observed in severe sepsis, which suggests that therapeutic approaches used recently with success in severe Sepsis should be investigated in patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac cardiac arrest.
Abstract
Postresuscitation abnormalities after cardiac arrest mimic the immunologic and coagulation disorders observed in severe sepsis. This suggests that therapeutic approaches used recently with success in severe sepsis should be investigated in patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest.

The administration of all doses of epinephrine during the resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is associated with impairment of DO2 and VO2 in the postresuscitation period, and inadvertent catecholamine toxicity represents a further complicating factor in the production of postResuscitation disease.
