Early prognostication of neurological outcome by heart rate variability in adult patients with out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest

Abstract Background Most deaths of comatose survivors of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest result from withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) decisions based on poor neurological prognostication and the family’s intention. Thus, accurate prognostication is crucial to avoid premature WLST...
