Functional connectivity in resting-state networks relates to short-term global cognitive functioning in cardiac arrest survivors.

Long-term cognitive impairment is common in cardiac arrest survivors. Screening to identify patients at risk is recommended. Functional magnetic resonance brain imaging (fMRI) holds potential to contribute to prediction of cognitive outcomes.

Resting state EEG relates to short- and long-term cognitive functioning after cardiac arrest.

Background: Approximately half of cardiac arrest survivors have persistent cognitive impairment. Guidelines recommend early screening to identify patients at risk for cognitive impairment, but there is no consensus on the best screening method. We aimed to identify quantitative EEG measures relating with short- and long-term cognitive function after cardiac arrest for potential to cognitive outcome prediction.

Additional predictive value of optic nerve sheath diameter for neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest: a prospective cohort study.

Background: The goal is to estimate the additional value of ultrasonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement on days 1-3, on top of electroencephalography (EEG), pupillary light reflexes (PLR), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), for neurological outcome prediction of comatose cardiac arrest patients. We performed a prospective longitudinal cohort study in adult comatose patients after cardiac arrest. ONSD was measured on days 1-3 using ultrasound.

MRI factors associated with cognitive functioning after acute onset brain injury: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Impairments of memory, attention, and executive functioning are frequently reported after acute onset brain injury. MRI markers hold potential to contribute to identification of patients at risk for cognitive impairments and clarification of mechanisms. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and value the evidence on MRI markers of memory, attention, and executive functioning after acute onset brain injury.
