No
Patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome may achieve full neurological recovery despite presenting with poor prognostic EEG patterns such as lateralized periodic discharges evolving to cyclic seizures, highlighting the importance of aggressive supportive care and seizure management.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support aggressive care despite malignant EEG post-arrest; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change prognostication.
Shimozono et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (n=1). Therapeutic hypothermia and antiepileptic drugs was evaluated on Clinical recovery. A 53-year-old man with post-cardiac arrest syndrome presenting with lateralized periodic discharges evolving to a cyclic seizure pattern on EEG recovered completely without sequelae.
