Hypothermia-treated cardiac arrest patients with good neurological outcome differ early in quantitative variables of EEG suppression and epileptiform activity.

TLDR
Quantitative electroencephalographic variables may be used to differentiate patients with good neurologic outcomes from those with poor outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Abstract
Objective:To evaluate electroencephalogram-derived quantitative variables after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Design:Prospective study.Setting:University hospital intensive care unit.Patients:Thirty comatose adult patients resuscitated from a witnessed out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation cardi

European Resuscitation Council and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine 2015 guidelines for post-resuscitation care.

TL;DR: These post-resuscitation care guidelines, which are based on the 2015 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations, place greater emphasis on rehabilitation after survival from a cardiac arrest.

What's wrong with Bonferroni adjustments

TL;DR: This paper advances the view, widely held by epidemiologists, that Bonferroni adjustments are, at best, unnecessary and, at worst, deleterious to sound statistical inference.

Treatment of Comatose Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest with Induced Hypothermia

TL;DR: This randomized, controlled trial compared the effects of moderate hypothermia and normothermia in patients who remained unconscious after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to survive to hospital discharge and be discharged to home or to a rehabilitation facility.

Mild therapeutic hypothermia to improve the neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest

TL;DR: In patients who have been successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, therapeutic mild hypothermia increased the rate of a favorable neurologic outcome and reduced mortality.

Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia to Improve the Neurologic Outcome After Cardiac Arrest

TL;DR: In patients who have been successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, therapeutic mild hypothermia increased the rate of a favorable neurologic outcome and reduced mortality.

Practice parameter: prediction of outcome in comatose survivors after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (an evidence-based review): report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology.

TL;DR: Pupillary light response, corneal reflexes, motor responses to pain, myoclonus status epilepticus, serum neuron-specific enolase, and somatosensory evoked potential studies can reliably assist in accurately predicting poor outcome in comatose patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest.
