Background EEG Suppression Ratio for Early Detection of Cerebral Injury in Pediatric Cardiac Arrest.

Background: Our objective was to assess the utility of the 1-h suppression ratio (SR) as a biomarker of cerebral injury and neurologic prognosis after cardiac arrest (CA) in the pediatric hospital setting.

Methods: Prospectively, we reviewed data from children presenting after CA and monitored by continuous electroencephalography (cEEG). Patients aged 1 month to 21 years were included.
