BACKGROUND: Substantial gaps exist in the neuroprognostication of cardiac arrest patients who remain comatose after the restoration of spontaneous circulation. Most studies focus on predicting survival, a measure confounded by the withdrawal of life-...
OBJECTIVE: Prognostication in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOCs) remains challenging because of heterogeneous etiologies, pathophysiologies and, consequently, highly variable electroencephalograms (EEGs). Here, we use EEG patterns that a...
PURPOSE/AIMS: Despite advances in healthcare, the incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has continued to rise for the past decade. Identifying those patients at risk has proven challenging. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of...
This article describes the staged restructure of the rapid response program into a dedicated 24/7 proactive rapid response system in a quaternary academic medical center in the southern United States. Rapid response nurses (RRNs) completed clinical l...

Standard diagnostic methods for evaluating the severity of brain injuries resulting from cardiac arrest, such as the Glasgow Coma Scale, exhibit subjective biases that lead to potentially fatal misclassifications, where life-support systems are prema...
Assessing the integrity of neural functions in coma after cardiac arrest remains an open challenge. Prognostication of coma outcome relies mainly on visual expert scoring of physiological signals, which is prone to subjectivity and leaves a considera...
OBJECTIVES: Prognostication of neurologic status among survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrests remains a challenging task for physicians. Although models such as the Cardiac Arrest Survival Post-Resuscitation In-hospital score are useful for predict...
OBJECTIVES: Prognostication of outcome is an essential step in defining therapeutic goals after cardiac arrest. Gray-white-matter ratio obtained from brain CT can predict poor outcome. However, manual placement of regions of interest is a potential s...
