Cerebral Oxygenation in Cardiac Arrest and Hypothermia

NCT01531426 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 94

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Data indicate that neurological prognostication is difficult after cardiac arrest if mild therapeutic hypothermia is part of the post resuscitation care. Cerebral oxygenation detected by near-infrared spectroscopy, could be a new, non-invasive index marker for outcome assessment after cardiac arrest. The investigators hypothesize that cardiac arrest survivors with a continuously low cerebral oxygenation index have a poor prognosis.
