Reducing Brain Damage After Cardiac Arrest
Post-cardiac arrest brain injury (PCABI) is the main cause of death in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest, and the main cause of long-term disability in those who survive the acute phase [1,2]. In this review we will describe the pathophysiology of PCABI, its management in the cri...
Sudden cardiac arrest in Israel 来自 Semantic Scholar 喜欢 0 阅读量: 21 作者:Putterman,Chaim 摘要: Because injury to the brain stem is usually associated with diffuse brain damage, recovery is rare and mortality high. A non-fatal penetrating injury involving the brain stem is described from a ...
Early identification of causes and consequences of cardiac arrest is generally considered of importance, in order to prevent recurrence and subsequent clinical deterioration. Apart from coronary angiography, a brain and chest CT-scan can also be performed at admission, when an extra-cardiac cause is ...

Category 4 means the sudden cardiac arrest while brain death is already diagnosed but prior to organ recovery. Having transplantable organs from this source means to keep the warm ischemia time as short as possible. Of crucial importance is this timespan between the cessation of the heart activity...
Early resuscitation studies have found that cooling the body immediately after cardiac arrest increases blood flow to the brain and helps prevent permanent damage, which can occur after just a few minutes. This kind of cooling also can speed recovery. Healthcare providers use various techniques—some...
Prevention of Ischemic Brain Damage Following Cardiac ArrestIschemic brain damage is the most feared complication following successful treatment of cardiac arrest. This paper reviews preventive and protective measures.doi:10.1007/978-3-642-83456-1_20Mogensen, L....
The kidneys have a strong ability for self-repair and their normal function usually returns after the recovery of the patient. Although AKI is not the leading cause of death after cardiac arrest, cardiac arrest causes damages to kidney tissue, which can affect the prognosis of the patient’s ...
heart stops supplying it with oxygen, our work found that the brain can show signs of electrical recovery long into ongoing CPR. This is the first large study to show that these recollections and brain wave changes may be signs of universal, shared elements of so-called near-death experiences...
