Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Advances in Cardiac Arrest: Prognostic Performance and Management” aims to serve as a seminal resource for medical professionals navigating the evolving landscape of cardiac arrest care. Despite advancements in resuscitative science, cardiac arrest continues to be a leading cause of mortality and morbidity around the world. This Special Issue seeks to address this critical gap by focusing on two pivotal aspects: prognostic performance and management strategies. It aims to elucidate the latest predictive models and biomarkers that can accurately forecast patient outcomes following resuscitation. Concurrently, this Special Issue will explore innovative management approaches, from pre-hospital interventions to advanced critical care techniques, that optimize patient survival and neurological function. By amalgamating cutting-edge research and expert opinions, this Special Issue endeavors to enhance clinical decision-making and set new benchmarks in cardiac arrest care. The target audience comprises basic researchers, resuscitation scientists, emergency physicians, intensivists, cardiologists, and other healthcare providers who are committed to elevating the standard of care in this life-threatening condition.
Dr. Kei Hayashida
