Table 2. Recommended neurological assessments after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in CA patients.
| Institution | Early stage (6–12 hours after ROSC) | Mid stage (72 hours after ROSC) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary hospitals | The GCS | The GCS, clinical symptoms, and signs |
| Hospitals with advanced capabilities | Imaging, biomarkers (NSE, S-100β) | Imaging, neurophysiology (EEG, SSEP), biomarkers (NSE, S-100β) |
CA, cardiac arrest; ROSC, return of spontaneous circulation; GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale; NSE, neuron-specific enolase; EEG, electroencephalogram.
