Abstract
Brain resuscitation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation has a poor prognosis [1]. The clinical results from our medical center without using brain hypothermia treatment showed, good recovery in 6 of 187 cases (3.2%), and mortality in 166 of 187 cases (88.8%) (Table 85). The other 8% of cases were mild disability 2.7%, severe disability 1.1%, and vegetative state 4.3%. The clinical results were largely unsuccessful with poor outcomes. However, recent clinical treatments have been recently developed for cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) [2,4–6].
