Neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest
The care of the comatose cardiac arrest patient and his/her relatives in the ICU constitutes a major challenge for intensivists. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects more than 275.000 Europeans yearly; survival rates are disturbingly low and have until recently remained unchanged [1]. During the last several years, significant efforts have been made to improve the quality of prehospita...
متن کاملPrognostication of outcome after cardiac arrest and targeted temperature management
The vast majority of cardiac arrest (CA) survivors remain comatose at hospital arrival. Around one-half of these patients suffer from severe hypoxic encephalopathy leading to death or unresponsive wakefulness. Early outcome prognostication may reduce futile intensive care and suffering for next of kin. Several early prognostic markers have shown high positive predictive value for poor outcome i...
متن کاملPredictors of neurologic outcome in hypothermia after cardiac arrest.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive value of neurologic prognostic indicators for patients treated with hypothermia after surviving cardiopulmonary arrest. METHODS Patients who survived cardiopulmonary arrest were prospectively collected from June 2006 to October 2009. Detailed neurologic examinations were performed. Serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) measurements, brain imaging findings, s...
متن کاملNeurologic Prognosis after Cardiac Arrest
Copyright © 2009 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 55-year-old man collapses while jogging through the park. A bystander finds him unconscious and without a pulse and initiates cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while an ambulance is summoned. On arrival in the emergency room, the patient is in ventricular fibrillation; the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is 200 mm Hg, the pH is 7....
متن کاملPredicting Neurologic Outcome in Cardiac Arrest Patients
Researchers in South Korea previously reported that diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) could be used to predict neurologic outcomes before targeted temperature management (TTM) after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) from cardiac arrest. In a new study, the same team of researchers compared the efficacy of brain computed tomography (CT) and DW-MRI to predict neurologi...
