Diagnosis of brain injury involves neurological examination, EEG, brain imaging and/or biomarker evaluation (such as S100B and NSE). [6] For out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, brain injury is the cause of death in most patients who undergo ROSC but ultimately die.
Hypoxic ischemic brain injury is a concerning outcome for people suffering a cardiac arrest. [147] Most improvements in cognition occur during the first three months following cardiac arrest, with some individuals reporting improvement up to one year post-cardiac arrest.
Global brain ischemia occurs when blood flow to the brain is halted or drastically reduced. This is commonly caused by cardiac arrest. If sufficient circulation is restored within a short period of time, symptoms may be transient. However, if a significant amount of time passes before restoration, brain damage may be permanent.

This is done in an attempt to reduce the risk of tissue injury following lack of blood flow. [2] Periods of poor blood flow may be due to cardiac arrest or the blockage of an artery by a clot as in the case of a stroke. [3] Targeted temperature management improves survival and brain function following resuscitation from cardiac arrest. [4]
With the advent of these strategies, cardiac arrest came to be called clinical death rather than simply death, to reflect the possibility of post-arrest resuscitation. At the onset of clinical death, consciousness is lost within several seconds, and in dogs, measurable brain activity has been measured to stop within 20 to 40 seconds. [2]
