Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
CT brain perfusion patterns and clinical outcome after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A pilot study
Authors' conclusion
This pilot study identified various perfusion patterns in patients after resuscitation, indicative of circulatory changes associated with post-cardiac-arrest brain injury.
Study context
- Population
- Patients who underwent CT brain perfusion within 12 h after successful resuscitation
- Participants
- 87 patients
- Exposure
- CT brain perfusion patterns by clinical outcome
- Favourable outcomen = 33
- Unfavourable outcomen = 54
- Outcome
- Perfusion patterns on CT brain perfusion
- Follow-up
- Within 12 h after resuscitation
