Oximetry-guided reoxygenation improves neurological outcome after experimental cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Current guidelines suggest that cardiac arrest (CA) survivors should be ventilated with 100% O(2) after resuscitation. Breathing 100% O(2) may worsen neurological outcome after experimental CA. This study tested the hypothesis that graded reoxygenation, with oximetry guidance, can safely reduce FiO(2) after resuscitation, avoiding hypoxia while promoting neurological reco...
متن کاملTherapeutic hypothermia and neurological outcome after cardiac arrest.
INTRODUCTION/AIM The most important clinically relevant cause of global cerebral ischemia is cardiac arrest. Clinical studies showed a marked neuroprotective effect of mild hypothermia in resuscitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of mild hypothermia on neurological outcome and survival of the patients in coma, after cardiac arrest and return of spontaneous circulation. M...
متن کاملNeurological 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 کاملNeurological outcome of prolonged coma survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Nine adult survivors of out-of-hospital presumed cardiogenic cardiac arrest, who remained unresponsive for longer than their third hospital day and who eventually were discharged from the acute care hospital, are reported. Their neurological outcome fell into three distinct categories: (a) a persistent vegetative state, (b) able to follow some simple commands but requiring total nursing care, a...
متن کاملSurvivors of cardiac arrest with good neurological outcome show considerable impairments of memory functioning.
BACKGROUND Deficits in cognitive function are a well-known dysfunction in survivors of cardiac arrest. However, data concerning memory function in this neurological vulnerable patient collective remain scarce and inconclusive. Therefore, we aimed to assess multiple aspects of retrospective and prospective memory performance in patients after cardiac arrest. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 3...
