[Research progress on clinical evaluation index of brain function after cardiopulmonary resuscitation]

The ultimate goal of cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA-CPR) is to reduce brain damage and promote neurological recovery. Although the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) has improved, the proportion of patients who survive to discharge is very low, so how to evaluate the recovery of brain function after resuscitation is particularly important in clinical work. From a clinical perspective, although early prognostic indicators are not perfect, identifying high-risk features may help clinicians determine the severity of brain injury caused by a patient's potential course of disease. This review, based on recent literature, selects several commonly used clinical brain function evaluation indicators to provide theoretical and practical support for assessing brain function recovery in patients after CPR.
