In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is a clinical scenario associated with potentially devastating outcomes.

Our study demonstrated improved consistency in completing post-ROSC clinical tasks after the introduction of a post-ROSC checklist to our hospital.

This work suggests that the implementation of a checklist can have meaningful impacts on task completion in the post-ROSC setting.

Despite this, considerable inconsistencies in post-ROSC care persisted after the intervention indicating the limits of checklists in this setting.

Future work is needed to identify interventions that can further improve post-ROSC processes of care.
