Values are expressed as median with interquartile range. CBC: complete blood count; CPR: cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ROSC: return of spontaneous circulation; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW: red cell distribution width.
