Significant improvements have been achieved in cardiac arrest resuscitation and postarrest
resuscitation care, but mortality remains high. Most of the poor outcomes and deaths of …

Background Among cardiac arrest survivors, about half remain comatose 72 h following
return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Prognostication of poor neurological outcome in …

ContextMost survivors of cardiac arrest are comatose after resuscitation, and meaningful
neurological recovery occurs in a small proportion of cases. Treatment can be lengthy …

Cardiac arrest (CA) is associated with a low rate of survival with favourable neurologic
recovery. The most common mechanism of death after successful resuscitation from CA is …

Objective: To systematically review outcomes in comatose survivors after cardiac arrest and
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods: The authors analyzed studies (1966 to …

More patients are surviving cardiac arrest than ever before; however, the burden now lies
with estimating neurological prognoses in a large number of patients who were initially …

With the introduction of closed chest compressions and the advent of modern
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques in the 1960s, physicians gained a simple …

Purpose To assess the performance of neuroprognostic guidelines proposed by the

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

Study hypothesis: The traditional (and unvalidated) five-point Cerebral Performance
