Early prediction of the recovery of consciousness in comatose cardiac arrest patients remains challenging. We prospectively studied task-relevant fMRI responses in 19 comatose cardiac arrest patients and five healthy controls to assess the fMRI's utility for neuroprognostication. Tasks involved instrumental music listening, forward and backward language listening, and motor imagery.

Background: Studies of neurologic outcomes have found conflicting results regarding differences between patients with substance-related cardiac arrests (SRCA) and non-SRCA. We investigate the effects of SRCA on severe cerebral edema development, a neuroimaging intermediate endpoint for neurologic injury.

Methods: 327 out-of-hospital comatose cardiac arrest patients were retrospectively analyzed.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Annelise M Kulpanowski"

  • - Annelise M Kulpanowski's research focuses on neuroprognostication in comatose patients, particularly after cardiac arrest, using advanced imaging techniques like fMRI to predict recovery outcomes.
  • - One study highlights that enhanced fMRI responsiveness in patients correlates with better neurologic outcomes, providing a potential tool for early assessment of consciousness recovery.
  • - Another investigation explores the impact of substance-related cardiac arrests on severe cerebral edema development, contributing to the understanding of neurologic injuries and outcomes in affected patients.
