1 Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a leading cause of death and neurological disability, despite substantial improvements in prehospital care and post-resuscitation management [1-3]. Among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in a comatose state after sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), in-hospital mortality remains high and is most often related to hypoxic–ischemic brain injury [4-8].

This study compared how the commercially available venous-to-arterial conversion method performed in estimating the results of arterial blood measurements from a venous blood sample and a measurement of oxygen saturation in a cohort of critically ill patients with abnormal pH.
