| Abstract | Introduction Knowledge about the influence of current neuroprotective interventions on prognostic markers after survival from cardiac arrest is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effects of mild therapeutic hypothermia on the release of the astroglial protein S-100 after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods This was a prospective, observational study performed during a two-year period, involving medical emergency services and five collaborating hospitals at the city of Aachen, Germany. Sixty-eight subjects were enrolled by the emergency physician on duty by taking blood samples after successful attempts at resuscitation with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), followed by samples at 6, 12, 24, 72 and 120 hours post ROSC by the appropriate intensive care unit staff. Depending on the decision of the attending physician, subjects were cooled down to 33°C (n = 37) for 24 hours or were held at 37°C (n = 31). Patients were tracked for estimating mortality and gross neurological outcome for 14 days. Results S-100 levels in patients not receiving mild therapeutic hypothermia (normothermia (NT)) showed equivalent numbers as compared with cooled patients (mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH)) on baseline (NT = 1.38 μg/l versus MTH = 1.30 μg/l; P = 0.886). S-100 levels on baseline were significantly lower in patients with a good neurological outcome at 14 days after the event in comparison to their peers with adverse outcome (P = 0.014). Although the difference in S-100 levels of MTH patients with adverse or favourable neurological outcome reached statistical significance, it did not in NT patients. Conclusions Although the predictive power of S-100 levels were best on admission but not at later time points, MTH had no influence on S-100 serum levels in survivors of non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the particular setting of this investigation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
