Threshold adjusted vagus nerve stimulation after asphyxial cardiac arrest results in neuroprotection and improved survival

Abstract Background Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has shown therapeutic potential in a variety of different diseases with many ongoing clinical trials. The role of VNS in reducing ischemic injury in the brain requires further evaluation. Cardiac arrest (CA) causes global ischemia and leads to the in...
