Too cold may not be so cool: spontaneous hypothermia as a marker of poor outcome after cardiac arrest
In a recent issue of Critical Care, den Hartog and colleagues show an association between spontaneous hypothermia, defined by an admission body temperature < 35°C, and poor outcome in patients with coma after cardiac arrest (CA) treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Given that TH alters neurological prognostication, studies aiming to identify early markers of injury severity and outcome ar...
متن کاملhyperammonemia as a marker of subclinical seizures after traumatic cardiac arrest
this report details the presence of hyperammonemia in a patient who sustained cardiac arrest after a traumatic amputation. serum ammonia levels may rise due to numerous etiologies; however, few reports detail its usefulness in diagnosing subclinical seizures. in this case, we successfully utilized persistently elevated serum ammonia levels as a marker of subclinical seizures in a patient who su...
متن کامل[Serum neuron-specific enolase as a prognostic marker after a cardiac arrest].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac arrest is a state of severe cerebral perfusion deficit. Patients recovering from a cardiopulmonary resuscitation are at great risk of subsequent death or incapacitating neurologic injury, including persistent vegetative state. The early definition of prognosis for these patients has ethical and economic implications. The main purpose of this manuscript was to r...
متن کاملAcute-phase reactants after paediatric cardiac arrest. Procalcitonin as marker of immediate outcome
OBJECTIVE Procalcitonin (PCT) and C reactive protein (CRP) have been used as infection parameters. PCT increase correlates with the infection's severity, course, and mortality. Post-cardiocirculatory arrest syndrome may be related to an early systemic inflammatory response, and may possibly be associated with an endotoxin tolerance. Our objective was to report the time profile of PCT and CRP le...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest: outcome predictors
OBJECTIVE The determination of coma patient prognosis after cardiac arrest has clinical, ethical and social implications. Neurological examination, imaging and biochemical markers are helpful tools accepted as reliable in predicting recovery. With the advent of therapeutic hypothermia, these data need to be reconfirmed. In this study, we attempted to determine the validity of different markers,...
