The analysis of spontaneous EEG activity and evoked potentials is a cornerstone of the
instrumental evaluation of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). The past few …

Management of coma after cardiac arrest has improved during the past decade, allowing an
increasing proportion of patients to survive, thus prognostication has become an integral …

JP Nolan et al./Resuscitation 95 (2015) 202–222 203 from 39 countries reviewed thousands

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 …

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

Aims and methods To systematically review the accuracy of early (≤ 7 days) predictors of
poor outcome, defined as death or vegetative state (Cerebral Performance Categories [CPC] …

Background—Modern treatments have improved the survival rate following cardiac arrest,
but prognostication remains a challenge. We examined the prognostic value of continuous …

Evolution of the EEG background pattern is a robust contributor to prediction of poor or good
outcome of comatose patients after cardiac arrest. At 24 h, persistent isoelectricity, low …
