We report the case of a young patient with severe hypoxic brain injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, resulting in brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC). Consistent with the patient's expressed wishes, treatment was sustained to facilitate organ donation. However, in the context of a severe post-resuscitation syndrome and physiological disturbances resulting from BD/DNC, refractory circulatory shock ensued.

Objectives: The shape is commonly used to describe the objects. State-of-the-art algorithms in medical imaging are predominantly diverging from computer vision, where voxel grids, meshes, point clouds, and implicit surface models are used. This is seen from the growing popularity of ShapeNet (51,300 models) and Princeton ModelNet (127,915 models).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates whether different sedation depths during targeted temperature management (TTM) can affect neurological outcomes in post-cardiac arrest patients.
  • It analyzed data from a medical ICU over several years, comparing patients sedated to a RASS-target of -5 versus -4, focusing on favorable neurological outcomes defined as a Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score of 1 or 2.
  • The results suggest that lighter sedation (RASS-target -4) is linked to better neurological outcomes and 30-day survival rates compared to deeper sedation (RASS-target -5), indicating a need for further research in this area.

Aim: Delirium in patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) is linked to adverse outcome, according to previous observations. However, data on patients recovering after cardiac arrest are sparse. The aim of this study was to assess incidence, risk factors, and outcome of patients with delirium after cardiac arrest in the Freiburg Delirium Registry (FDR).
