Popis: Objective: To evaluate electroencephalogram-derived quantitative variables after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Design: Prospective study.Setting: University hospital intensive care unit.Patients: Thirty comatose adult patients resuscitated from a witnessed out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest and treated with induced hypothermia (33°C) for 24 hrs.Interventions: None.Measurements and Main Results:Electroencephalography was registered from the arrival at the intensive care unit until the patient was extubated or transferred to the ward, or 5 days had elapsed from cardiac arrest. Burst-suppression ratio, response entropy, state entropy, and wavelet subband entropy were derived. Serum neuron-specific enolase and protein 100B were measured. The Pulsatility Index of Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography was used to estimate cerebral blood flow velocity. The Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Categories was used to assess the neurologic outcome during 6 mos after cardiac arrest. Twenty patients had Cerebral Performance Categories of 1 to 2, one patient had a Cerebral Performance Categories of 3, and nine patients had died (Cerebral Performance Categories of 5). Burst-suppression ratio, response entropy, and state entropy already differed between good (Cerebral Performance Categories 1–2) and poor (Cerebral Performance Categories 3–5) outcome groups (p = .011, p = .011, p = .008) during the first 24 hrs after cardiac arrest. Wavelet subband entropy was higher in the good outcome group between 24 and 48 hrs after cardiac arrest (p = .050). All patients with status epilepticus died, and their wavelet subband entropy values were lower (p = .022). Protein 100B was lower in the good outcome group on arrival at ICU (p = .010). After hypothermia treatment, neuron-specific enolase and protein 100B values were lower (p = .002 for both) in the good outcome group. The Pulsatility Index was also lower in the good outcome group (p = .004).Conclusions: Quantitative electroencephalographic variables may be used to differentiate patients with good neurologic outcomes from those with poor outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The predictive values need to be determined in a larger, separate group of patients.
