Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many efforts have been made to improve the survival rates of cardiac arrest patients. Despite ongoing debates, there remains a pressing need for better treatment methods and guidelines. Prognostic tools for identifying groups at risk of moderate-to-severe anoxic ischemia and management strategies for improving their outcomes are critical issues of our time. While concerns about early prognostication persist, it is essential to use modalities such as brain MRI, EEG, and others for early prognosis prediction and to consider therapeutic interventions for eligible patients. Rapid CPR, early defibrillation, cause-specific treatments for cardiac arrest, and various supportive care options can enhance the neurological outcomes of these patients. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on novel approaches and improved therapeutic options based on prognosis in cardiac arrest patients.
