Post-cardiac arrest brain injury (PCABI) is caused by initial ischaemia and subsequent
reperfusion of the brain following resuscitation. In those who are admitted to intensive care …

As more people are surviving cardiac arrest, focus needs to shift towards improving
neurological outcomes and quality of life in survivors. Brain injury after resuscitation, a …

Abstract The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive
Care Medicine (ESICM) have collaborated to produce these post-resuscitation care …

In this section of the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021, key information on
the epidemiology and outcome of in and out of hospital cardiac arrest are presented. Key …

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 …

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

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 …

Aims To assess the accuracy of electroencephalogram (EEG) and somatosensory evoked
potentials (SEPs) recorded at 12 and 72 h from resuscitation for predicting six-months …

Aim To assess if, in comatose resuscitated patients, the amplitude of the N20 wave
(N20amp) of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) can predict 6-months neurological …

A self-fulfilling prophecy (SFP) in neuroprognostication occurs when a patient in coma is
predicted to have a poor outcome, and life-sustaining treatment is withdrawn on the basis of …
