Awakening from postanoxic coma is increasingly observed, despite early absence of motor
signs and frank elevation of serum markers of brain injury. A new multimodal approach to …

Objectives To review and update the evidence on predictors of poor outcome (death,
persistent vegetative state or severe neurological disability) in adult comatose survivors of …

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

Because a large number of patients will suffer cardiac arrest each year, physicians must
place attention on improving care for patients in the post-resuscitative setting. Part of this …

Objectives: To examine neurophysiologic predictors and outcomes of patients with late
awakening following cardiac arrest. Design: Observational cohort study. Setting: Academic …

OBJECTIVES: Prognostic guidelines after cardiac arrest (CA) focus on unfavorable outcome
prediction; favorable outcome prognostication received less attention. Our aim was to …

No index predicts poor neurological outcome after cardiac arrest with absolute certainty.
Prognostic evaluation should start not earlier than 72 h after ROSC and only after major …

Anoxic coma after cardiorespiratory arrest warrants precocious investigation to establish
probable outcome. Electroencephalogram (EEG) may uncover subclinical seizures; EEG …

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

Purpose To assess the performance of neuroprognostic guidelines proposed by the
American Academy of Neurology (AAN), European Resuscitation Council/European Society …
