Abstract

In this review, cardiac arrest is discussed, with a focus on neuroprognostication and the emerging data, with regard to identifying more accurate predictors of neurologic outcomes in the era of therapeutic hypothermia. Topics discussed include recent controversies with regard to targeted temperature management in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest; neurologic complications associated with surgical disease and procedures, namely aortic dissection, infective endocarditis, left ventricular assist devices, and coronary artery bypass grafting; and the cause, pathogenesis, and management of neurogenic stunned myocardium.
