Current EEG criteria for the diagnosis of non-convulsive status epilepticus in critically ill patients with repetitive generalised or focal epileptiform discharges primarily rely on a widely accepted low cut-off frequency limit of 2.5-3 Hz for non-evolving patterns, or on discharge evolution of
In this review, we summarize the results of studies that investigated the effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation in cardiac arrest, including the use of different fractions of inspired oxygen, in neonatal animals. The studies were heterogenous in terms of anaesthetic regimens, and definitions of
Early determination of outcome after successful prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a common problem with great ethical, economic, social, and legal consequences. We prospectively investigated 112 adult patients who had been resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA). The
The utilization of cardiopulmonary bypass in neonates, infants and children often requires the use of deep hypothermia at 18 degrees C with occasional periods of circulatory arrest. Thus, marked physiologic extremes of temperature and perfusion are induced. The safety of these techniques appears to
We have demonstrated the ability to concurrently measure relative changes in cerebral blood flow, hemoglobin concentration, and hemoglobin oxygenation with a single non-contact, non-invasive instrument. Our measurements from rat hypercapnia, hypoxia and cardiac arrest models are in reasonable
BACKGROUND
For cardiac arrest (CA) victims, brain computed tomography (CT) may serve as a prognosticator. Loss of gray-white matter discrimination (GWMD) and sulcal edema/effacement are reliable CT signs of hypoxia, and a time window may exist for development of these signs. Most data are derived
BACKGROUND
Pulse oximetry is widely used in intensive care and emergency conditions to monitor arterial oxygenation and to guide oxygen therapy.
OBJECTIVE
To study the reliability of pulse oximetry in comparison with CO-oximetry in newborn piglets during progressive hypoxia, cardiac arrest,
Although the mechanism underlying the anti-epileptic effects of a ketogenic diet (KD) is not known, KD is reported to be an effective treatment for intractable epilepsy, in particular among children. Here, we evaluated whether a KD can reduce posthypoxic seizure and myoclonic jerks in a rat model of
ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a cardiopulmonary assistance device able to support patients in cardiac arrest, refractory cardiogenic shock or refractory hypoxemia otherwise sentenced to death. Recent technical progresses, early indication decision, bedside multidisciplinary implant,
Brain tissue hypoxia may contribute to preventable secondary brain injury after cardiac arrest. We developed a porcine model of opioid overdose cardiac arrest and post-arrest care including invasive, multimodal neurological monitoring of regional brain physiology. We hypothesized brain tissue
To examine the effects of brief hypoxia (<7 min) due to cardiac arrest on the integrity of the brain and performance on memory and executive functions tasks.
Patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) (n = 9), who were deemed neurologically intact on discharge, were compared to matched
The excretion of hypoxanthine-xanthine and uric acid in urine and the concentrations in peripheral venous blood were determined in nine patients with cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in ten control patients with AMI without cardiac arrest and in nine with angina pectoris. The
Normal maturation of sensory information processing in the cortex requires patterned synaptic activity during developmentally regulated critical periods. During early development, spontaneous synaptic activity establishes required patterns of synaptic input, and during later development it
It has been reported that both activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and acid-sensing ion channels during cerebral ischemic insult contributed to brain injury. But which of these two molecular targets plays a more pivotal role in hypoxia-induced brain injury during ischemia is not known. In
OBJECTIVE
In a previous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) study in swine, ventilation was associated with improved rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) compared with nonventilated animals, which had greater hypoxia and hypercarbic acidosis. We used the same model to determine the
