Hirsch – Brain Injury after Cardiac Arrest: Management, Prognosis, and Controversies

Please welcome back an old friend of Baltimore, Karen G. Hirsch, MD. Dr. Hirsch is an Assistant Professor of Neurology and the Director of Neurocritical Care at the Stanford University Medical Center. She is also one of the guru’s and experts in the field of neuroprognostication after cardiac arrest leading to a multitude of publications and numerous grants. Today we are exceedingly fortunate to have her grace the halls of The University of Maryland to give us a crash course on what we SHOULD be doing for our cardiac arrest patients. I assure you, this is a lecture all of us need to hear!
