Proposed progression of rehabilitation following ROSC after SCA, including acute care in the ICU (stabilization, neuroprotection, possible targeted temperature management), subacute rehabilitation (early physical and cognitive recovery), and long-term outpatient follow-up (community-based reintegration, neuropsychological therapy). Abbreviations: ROSC—return of spontaneous circulation; SCA—sudden cardiac arrest; ICU—intensive care unit; TTM—targeted temperature management; CPC—cerebral performance category.
