Brief Summary:
Early prognostication in resuscitated cardiac arrest (CA) patients, within the first day after admission in the intensive care unit (ICU), remains difficult. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement could predict increased intracranial pressure. Preliminary works showed that ONSD measurement could be used to predict outcome in post-CA patients.
The aim of this study was to assess the ability of bedside ONSD ultrasonographic measurement to predict survival and Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score at hospital discharge in post-cardiac arrest patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH).
Detailed Description:
Prospective observational study including all consecutive successfully resuscitated and TH-treated CA patients without traumatic or neurological etiology of CA in two French ICUs. ONSD measurements were performed on day 1, 2, and 3 after return of spontaneous circulation (ONSD1,2,3 respectively).
The primary outcome is survival at hospital discharge (with an average follow-up of 3 month until ICU admission).
