Post arrest hypothermia: clinical assessment, NSE, EPSP predictive value
Clinical Question
In patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest, can clinical examination, neuronspecific enolase (NSE), and median nerve somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) predict poor outcome?
Critical Appraisal
Key findings
Poor outcome: clinical tests at 72hrs, NSE & SSEP N20. Multimodal to be safe
