Neurologic prognostication after resuscitation from cardiac arrest
Abstract Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest remains a leading cause of mortality in the United States, and the majority of patients who die after achieving return of spontaneous circulation die from withdrawal of care due to a perceived poor neurologic prognosis. Unfortunately, withdrawal of care often...

| description | Abstract Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest remains a leading cause of mortality in the United States, and the majority of patients who die after achieving return of spontaneous circulation die from withdrawal of care due to a perceived poor neurologic prognosis. Unfortunately, withdrawal of care often occurs during the first day of admission and research suggests this early withdrawal of care may be premature and result in unnecessary deaths for patients who would have made a full neurologic recovery. In this review, we explore the evidence for neurologic prognostication in the emergency department for patients who achieve return of spontaneous circulation after an out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest. |
