Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of patients following cardiopulmonary resuscitation in an intensive care unit (ICU) using bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. The study was a prospective comparative study performed at the academic department of an ICU. A total of 33 adults who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation were enrolled and divided into the surviving and non‑surviving groups according to their 7‑day survival status. During their stay in the ICU, the BIS and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) levels of all the patients were continuously monitored. The neurological condition of the patients was measured according to the Glasgow coma scale (GCS). Acute physiological and chronic diseases were measured according to the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II). SaO2 was monitored in all patients. The jugular bulb venous oxygen saturation (SjO2) levels were continuously monitored in 23 patients and the difference between the SaO2 and SjO2 values was used to indicate oxygen metabolism in the brain. The variables in the present study were compared between the 2 groups. The correlations between BIS values and GCS or APACHE II scores were analyzed. The BIS values were significantly higher in the surviving group than in the non‑surviving group (P<0.01). The difference between the SaO2 and SjO2 was significant (P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between BIS values and GCS scores (r=0.821, P<0.01) and between BIS values and APACHE II scores (r=0.434, P<0.05). BIS values may be used to predict the post‑resuscitative outcome of patients following cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
