Apr 14, 2018: Early prediction of coma recovery after cardiac arrest with blinded pupillometry

Multi-modal evaluations in post-cardiac arrest patients are commonly used in neurologic prognostication. Less invasive and less costly methods for prognostication, such as quantitative pupillometry, may be just as effective. In this week's installment, Dr. Mauro Oddo shares his center's experience using this simple tool with Dr. Ramani Balu. NCS offers free CE credits for the NCS Podcast Series episodes.
