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 کاملOximetry-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 کاملContinuous evaluation of neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest.
Post-resuscitation care has changed in the last decade, and outcome after cardiac arrest has improved, thanks to several combined measures. Induced hypothermia has shown a treatment benefit in two randomized trials, but some doubts remain. General care has improved, including the use of emergency coronary intervention. Assessment of neurological function and prognosis in comatose cardiac arrest...
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 outcomes after cardiac arrest: cold and dark issues
Prognostication after cardiac arrest is important for patients, families and health providers. It also has ethical and social implications. With the introduction of therapeutic hypothermia after recovery from cardiac arrest in comatose patients,(1,2) prognostication has become more complex and concerns have been raised, particularly about the amount of time and the number of tools required for ...
