Abstract
The essential principle in post-cardiac surgical care is ensuring optimal hemodynamic preservation and tissue perfusion through the utilization of continuous hemodynamic monitoring, adequate volume repletion, and, if necessary, use of inotropic agents and/or pressors. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for

cardiac arrest after cardiac surgery is different from cardiac arrest in other settings as its causes are usually reversible with associated improved outcomes. Due to aging of the cardiac surgical population and broader application of interventional cardiologic interventions before admission for cardiac surgery, the
