Our recent focus has been working on survivors of CPR cognitive outcome. Do you know any groups or are you involved in similar projects? what are the most important issues to approach? Are there any findings with regard to pharmacological cerebral protection in such patients that have improved outcome?

Hi Dr Mazur,
Many thanks for the references you've introduced. In deed, I intend to find groups who are currently active on the topic and their projects.
Two things also help:
Cooling the body: many references in Google e.g. https://www.ncbi.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0012557.
Steroids were used a lot in my day. See Buddineni "Epinephrine, vasopressin and steroids..."Crit Care 2014, 18, 308
Hope this helps. Most useful thing is a team of strong nurses to really
compress sternum; with frequent changes to avoid tiredness. One day we
will realize the floor is the best place to be doing this, and legs and feet are better and stronger than arms and legs on a bed.
