Episode 17 - New evidence: physician perspectives on post-arrest neuroprognostication

Drs. Teran and Abella discuss a hot-off-the-press survey study by Maciel CB et al (Critical Care Medicine, 2020), probing physician perspectives and practice on post-arrest neurologic assessment and prognostication. Do all of us follow the international guidelines for this phase of care? What are points of confusion in current “real world” practice?  Join us to answer these questions and hear about key action items for all of us who manage post-arrest care.
