Markers of neutrophil mediated inflammation associate with disturbed continuous electroencephalogram after out of hospital cardiac arrest.
Abstract
Achieving an acceptable neurological outcome in cardiac arrest survivors remains challenging. Ischaemia-reperfusion injury induces inflammation, which may cause secondary neurological damage. We studied the association of ICU admission levels of inflammatory biomarkers with disturbed 48-hour continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG), and the association of the daily levels of these markers up to 72 hours with poor 6-month neurological outcome.
