If a resuscitated patient states they do not recall the event, what should you do next?

The appropriate action after a resuscitated patient states they do not recall the event is to continue your treatment. In the context of post-resuscitation care, it is important to ensure that the patient is monitored closely for any potential complications or changes in their condition. Continuing treatment allows for the assessment of vital signs and neurological function, which are crucial for determining the patient's stability and ongoing needs.

Patients who do not recall the event may be experiencing a variety of neurological responses, and their condition could change rapidly. Therefore, maintaining a proactive approach in treatment is essential to address any potential issues that may arise. By keeping up with treatment protocols, you can provide necessary interventions that could be life-saving.

While documenting the patient's response, assessing neurological function, and disconnecting the AED may be relevant tasks in the overall patient care process, they should not take precedence over the immediate need to stabilize and monitor the patient following resuscitation. Focusing on continuing treatment ensures that all bases are covered in managing the patient's health effectively.
