Article Synopsis
  • * Out of 199 adult patients studied, 59 (29.6%) had multiple EEGs within the first 14 days of treatment, allowing for analysis of EEG patterns linked to patient outcomes.
  • * The findings suggest that an initially normal amplitude followed by low-voltage EEG is a significant predictor of poor outcomes, indicating that rEEG can be a valuable tool in evaluating prognosis for HE patients in settings without cEEG

Objective: To analyze the association between electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns and overall, short- and long-term mortality in patients with hypoxic encephalopathy (HE).

Methods: Retrospective, mono-center analysis of 199 patients using univariate log-rank tests (LR) and multivariate cox regression (MCR).

Results: Short-term mortality, defined as death within 30-days post-discharge was 54.

Our aim was to compare the outcomes of Impella with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with post-cardiac arrest cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This was a retrospective study of patients resuscitated from out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with post-cardiac arrest CS following AMI (May 2015 to May 2020). Patients were supported either with Impella 2.
