Background

With the introduction of therapeutic hypothermia (TH), the prediction of neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest (CA) survivors is challenging. Early, accurate determination of prognosis by emergency physicians is important to avoid unnecessarily prolonged critical care with a likely poor neurological outcome.

Methods

This prospective observational study included patients with non-traumatic CA and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) b…
