Hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury (HIBI) is the main cause of death in patients who are
comatose after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. A poor neurological outcome—defined as …

Purpose To assess the ability of clinical examination, blood biomarkers, electrophysiology or
neuroimaging assessed within 7 days from return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) to …

Importance Neuroprognostication studies are potentially susceptible to a self-fulfilling
prophecy as investigated prognostic parameters may affect withdrawal of life-sustaining …

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 …

Background Brain injury is reportedly the main cause of death for patients resuscitated after
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, the majority may actually die following …

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 …

Introduction Non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers the possibility to
determine regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO 2) in patients with cardiac arrest. Limited …

We sought to review the role that cerebral edema plays in neurologic outcome following
cardiac arrest, to understand whether cerebral edema might be an appropriate therapeutic …

Background Predicting neurological outcome in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest relies
on clinical findings, radiological and neurophysiological test results. To evaluate the …

Neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest has always been challenging, and has
become even more so since the advent of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in the early 2000s …
