EEG and SEP Evaluation for Good and Poor Neurological Prognosis After Cardiac Arrest

Hypoxic-Ischemic-encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe and frequent neurological complication of successful cardiopulmonary-resuscitation after cardiac arrest (CA). Prognosticating neurological outcomes in patients with HIE is challenging and recent guidelines suggest a multimodal approach. Only few studies have analyzed the prognostic power of the association between instrumental tests and, in addition, most of them were monocentric, retrospective and evaluating only poor outcome.
