Bevers MB, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers tested their hypothesis that combining malignant vs non-malignant electroencephalography (EEG) classification with clinical exam and quantitative analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging would improve prognostic ability after cardiac arrest and targeted temperature management (TTM). They found that presence of a malignant EEG pattern was 100% specific for poor outcome, a finding that was consistent with prior literature. They concluded that in the identification of patients having a potential for recovery, the combination of physical exam and magnetic resonance imaging findings could have utility in the absence of malignant EEG findings.
