Abstract
The bilateral absence of cortical Somatosensory Evoked Potentials(SEPs), after cardiac arrest(CA), is a high reliable predictor of poor outcome but it is present in no more than 40% of patients. An amplitude reduction of cortical SEPs was found in about 30% of subjects but few papers analysed its prognostic significance. The aim of our study is to identify a value of SEP amplitude reduction below which all the CA patients had poor outcome and the relationship between SEP and Electroencephalogram(EEG) patterns.
