Survivors of prolonged (>2 weeks) post–cardiac arrest (CA) coma are expected to remain permanently disabled. We aimed to investigate 3 outlier patients who ultimately achieved independent functional outcomes after prolonged post‐CA coma to identify electroencephalographic (EEG) markers of their recovery potential. For validation purposes, we also aimed to evaluate these markers in an independent cohort of post‐CA patients.

心脏骤停后长时间昏迷后的独立功能结果：机械假设

预计心脏骤停 (CA) 后长时间（> 2 周）昏迷的幸存者将保持永久性残疾。我们旨在调查 3 名在 CA 后长期昏迷后最终实现独立功能结果的异常患者，以确定其恢复潜力的脑电图 (EEG) 标志物。出于验证目的，我们还旨在在独立的 CA 后患者队列中评估这些标志物。
