Rationale: Hourly urine output is critical post-resuscitation from pulseless dysrhythmia. It monitors renal perfusion and cardiac output, reflecting hemodynamic stability after cardiac arrest, per critical care guidelines. White blood count assesses infection but isn't immediate, glucose is less urgent unless diabetic, and temperature detects fever but not organ function. A directly evaluates resuscitation success, detecting complications like acute kidney injury early.
