“…32,45 Using subband entropy of EEG, we also uncovered that in rats subjected to 7-min ACA, continuous EEG activity began to return at approximately 15-20 min after resuscitation. 46 In this present study, we found EEG activity (represented by entropy as well as gamma band power) surged over 15-30 min post-ROSC, and this recovery of EEG activity is linked to better neurological outcomes. These results are consistent with our previous findings.…”

“…Entropy, as a mathematical measure of randomness of EEG patterns, has been utilized to monitor injury and recovery since lower entropy values were seen in pathological EEG patterns after CA 32,45 . Using subband entropy of EEG, we also uncovered that in rats subjected to 7‐min ACA, continuous EEG activity began to return at approximately 15–20 min after resuscitation 46 . In this present study, we found EEG activity (represented by entropy as well as gamma band power) surged over 15–30 min post‐ROSC, and this recovery of EEG activity is linked to better neurological outcomes.…”

ObjectiveThere is a complex interaction between nervous and cardiovascular systems, but sparse data exist on brain–heart electrophysiological responses to cardiac arrest resuscitation. Our aim was to investigate dynamic changes in autonomic and cortical function during hyperacute stage post‐resuscitation.MethodsTen rats were resuscitated from 7‐min cardiac arrest, as indicators of autonomic response, heart rate (HR), and its variability (HRV) were measured. HR was monitored through continuous electrocardiography, while HRV was assessed via spectral analysis, whereby the ratio of low−/high‐frequency (LF/HF) power indicates the balance between sympathetic/parasympathetic activities. Cortical response was evaluated by continuous electroencephalography and quantitative analysis. Parameters were quantified at 5‐min intervals over the first‐hour post‐resuscitation. Neurological outcome was assessed by Neurological Deficit Score (NDS, range 0–80, higher = better outcomes) at 4‐h post‐resuscitation.ResultsA significant increase in HR was noted over 15–30 min post‐resuscitation (p < 0.01 vs.15‐min, respectively) and correlated with higher NDS (rs = 0.56, p < 0.01). LF/HF ratio over 15–20 min was positively correlated with NDS (rs = 0.75, p < 0.05). Gamma band power surged over 15–30 min post‐resuscitation (p < 0.05 vs. 0–15 min, respectively), and gamma band fraction during this period was associated with NDS (rs ≥0.70, p < 0.05, respectively). Significant correlations were identified between increased HR and gamma band power during 15–30 min (rs ≥0.83, p < 0.01, respectively) and between gamma band fraction and LF/HF ratio over 15–20 min post‐resuscitation (rs = 0.85, p < 0.01).InterpretationsHyperacute recovery of autonomic and cortical function is associated with favorable functional outcomes. While this observation needs further validation, it presents a translational opportunity for better autonomic and neurologic monitoring during early periods post‐resuscitation to develop novel interventions.
