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 …

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 …

Importance It is uncertain what the optimal target temperature is for targeted temperature
management (TTM) in patients who are comatose following cardiac arrest. Objective To …

Background Resuscitation of refractory out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation/ventricular
tachycardia (VF/VT) cardiac arrest using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) …

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 …

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 …

Cardiac arrest (CA) is a well-known cause of global brain ischemia. After CA and
subsequent loss of consciousness, oxygen tension starts to decline and leads to a series of …

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

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 …

Aim Gray–white-matter ratio (GWR) calculated from head CT is a radiologic index of tissue
changes associated with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest (CA) …
