Excerpt

Treatment of patients after sudden cardiac arrest remains a significant problem. Even after successful resuscitation, most patients have complications - one of the most serious and, unfortunately, very common being postanoxic brain injury. Aims of the study were to estimate the survival time for patients who had sinus rhythm restored after cardiac arrest but had neurological deficiency, and to estimate basic pathology that triggers cardiac arrest. …
