Background Neurological damage remains the leading cause of death in cardiac arrest
victims with early neuroprognostication being the cornerstone of the decision-making …

Purpose Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a frequent cause of death in Europe. Hypoxic
ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) often develops in initial survivors, and the question of …

Background and Purpose—Anecdotal reports suggest that a loss of distinction between gray
(GM) and white matter (WM) as adjudged by CT scan predicts poor outcome in comatose …

Early assessment of the potential for neurologic recovery in comatose cardiac arrest patients
(CCAP) has been a challenge despite significant evolution in management and imaging …

Introduction A multimodal approach to prognostication of outcome after cardiac arrest (CA) is
recommended. Evidence for combinations of methods is low. In this post-hoc analysis we …

Aim Neuroimaging has been proposed as a predictor of neurologic outcome in comatose
survivors of cardiac arrest. We reviewed the quality and level of evidence of the current …

Introduction Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is the main cause of death and disability of
comatose patients after cardiac arrest. Early and reliable prognostication is challenging …

Aim Previous studies have examined the association between quantitative head computed
tomography (CT) measures of cerebral edema and patient outcomes reporting that a …

In this issue of Resuscitation, Inamasu and colleagues present a prospective observational
study of brain computed tomography (CT) scanning in those with return of spontaneous …

Patients who initially survive cardiac arrest are often admitted to an intensive care unit
comatose and on mechanical ventilation. It is not clear whether or not a screening cranial …
