✦ Synopsis

electroencephalography (to demonstrate burst suppression), and we occasionally repeat computed tomographic scanning (to demonstrate cerebral edema or multiple cerebral infarcts) to assist in our assessment. Moreover, we often consider naloxone or flumazenil to reverse possible confounding drugs such as narcotics or benzodiazepines (e.g., midazolam). Only after we have marshaled the most pertinent clinical and laboratory data, do we address our prediction of outcome with family members.

Outcome in comatose survivors following cardiac arrest with myoclonus status is dismal 14, 51. This finding remains uncontroverted.
