TI Coma after cardiac arrest

PT journal article

AB The course of 284 patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest has been followed. One hundred and thirty-three patients were comatose and the prevalence of coma correlated with the nature of the cardiac arrest, where it took place and the underlying disease; but not with the age of the patient. Coma after cardiac arrest carries a poor prognosis and only 19 per cent of comatose patients lived to be discharged from hospital compared with 54 percent of non-comatose patients. A significant proportion of those discharged who had been comatose had a persisting neurological deficit.
