The Prognostic Value of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials in Children After Cardiac Arrest: The SEPIA Study.

Purpose: Absent cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) reliably predict poor neurologic outcome in adults after cardiac arrest (CA). However, there is less evidence to support this in children. In addition, targeted temperature management, test timing, and a lack of blinding may affect test accuracy.
