Victims of cardiac arrest (CA) who have return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),
may remain comatose for a period of time [
[1]
]. Despite our current understanding of the pathophysiology of CA, and the new therapeutic
interventions attempted for this clinical condition, many of these patients will develop
some degree of permanent neurological impairment [
[1]
]. Predicting neurological outcome in these patients remains very difficult and challenging
at best [
