Additional predictive value of optic nerve sheath diameter for neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The goal is to estimate the additional value of ultrasonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement on days 1-3, on top of electroencephalography (EEG), pupillary light reflexes (PLR), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), for neurological outcome prediction of comatose cardiac arrest patients. We performed a prospective longitudinal cohort study in adult comatose patients after cardiac arrest. ONSD was measured on days 1-3 using ultrasound. Continuous EEG, PLR, and SSEP were acquired as standard care. Poor outcome was defined as cerebral performance categories 3-5 at 3-6 months. Logistic regression models were created for outcome prediction based on the established predictors with and without ONSD. Additional predictive value was assessed by increase i
