Introduction: The Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS) is characterized by systemic inflammation, followed by risk of multiple organ failure, due to oxidative stress generated after the period of ischemia. Nursing in the clinical management of PPS acts directly in the early identification and conducts that result in reduced risk circumstances. Objective: To identify, through literature, the role of intensivist nursing in the clinical signs of PPSC. Methodology: Integrative literature review.

Results and Discussion: ICU nursing, when facing PCAS, acts by means of interventions aiming at the stabilization of this clinical picture. Thus, continuing education is a relevant tool in the quality of this care, because it is necessary the knowledge about the pathophysiological process and the appropriate assistance.
