Background Severe brain edema appears early after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
in a subset of patients and portends a poor prognosis. We tested whether clinical features of …

Background Cerebral edema following cardiac arrest is a well-known complication of
resuscitation and portends a poor outcome. We identified predictors of post-cardiac arrest …

Background Cerebral edema after cardiac arrest may be a modifiable cause of secondary
brain injury. We aimed to identify processes of care associated with recovery in a cohort of …

Background Few data characterize the role of brain computed tomography (CT) after
resuscitation from in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). We hypothesized that identifying a …

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

Purpose Assessment of prognosis after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is challenging.
Cerebral computed tomography (cCT) scans are widely available, but the use in …

Sudden cardiac arrest (CA) claims approximately 1,200 lives daily in the United States.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempts have so far achieved suboptimal results, and even …

BACKGROUND: Cerebral edema is one physical change associated with brain injury and
decreased survival after cardiac arrest. Edema appears on computed tomography (CT) scan …

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 …

Hypotension after cardiac arrest could aggravate prolonged hypoxic ischemic
encephalopathy. The association of circulatory shock at hospital admission with outcome …
