RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 BET 2: Pain management in patients who show awareness during CPR JF Emergency Medicine Journal JO Emerg Med J FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and the British Association for Accident & Emergency Medicine SP 249 OP 250 DO 10.1136/emermed-2019-208599.2 VO 36 IS 4 A1 Rune Sarauw Lundsgaard A1 Kristine Sarauw Lundsgaard YR 2019 UL http://emj.bmj.com/content/36/4/249.abstract AB A shortcut review was carried out to establish whether pin management or sedation is indicated to improve outcome in patients who show signs of awareness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Seven papers presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. It is concluded that awareness during CPR or CPR-induced consciousness is rare but increasingly reported. Further research is needed before definite guidance can be given. Local advice should be followed
