BACKGROUND: Neurologic prognostication after cardiac arrest relies on clinical
examination findings derived before the advent of therapeutic hypothermia (TH). We …

Objectives: Current prognostication guidelines for cardiac arrest (CA) survivors predate the
use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH). The prognostic value and ideal timing of the …

Objective: Early assessment of neurologic recovery is often challenging in survivors of
cardiac arrest. Further, little is known about when to assess neurologic status in comatose …

Background: The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is used to assess
early ischemic stroke damage. This study compared bilateral ASPECTS (ASPECTS-b) with …

Background: Currently, there are limited data of prognostic clues for neurological recovery in
comatose survivors undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH). We aimed to evaluate clinical …

Post‐resuscitation care has changed in the last decade, and outcome after cardiac arrest
has improved, thanks to several combined measures. Induced hypothermia has shown a …

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic hypothermia improves neurologic outcomes in patients
resuscitated from cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. However, its role in patients …

Objective: Current guidelines indicate that certain clinical examination findings at 72 hours
after cardiac arrest may be useful in prognosis. Some have suggested that hypothermia may …

Cardiac arrest is a devastating event. Despite improving resuscitation practices, mortality for
those who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is. 90% with many survivors being …

Background: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) may improve neurological outcome in comatose
patients following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The reliability of clinical prediction of …
