Abstract :
ANOXIC brain insult is a sequalae of tissue hypoperfusion during cardiac arrest that may lead to varieties of neurological outcome in patients.Specific proteins are expected to be released from neurons and their processes as a result of axonal damage following central nervous system injury post cardiac arrest. An assay that could reliably quantify the levels of these released proteins in blood might provide useful information about the degree of neuronal injury and could be potentially used to predict neurological outcome post cardiac arrest.
