Neurological outcome
ANOXIC BRAIN INJURY
At hospital discharge 22 of 30 patients (73%) in the low MAP group and 15/30 (50%) in the high MAP group had a poor functional outcome CPC 3–5. Within 90 days, 12 of 30 patients (40%) in the low MAP group and 8 of 30 patients (27%) in the high MAP group had died. Overall mortality during hospital stay was 33% due primarily to severe anoxic brain injury and withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy. At 48 h, the median NSE level was 15 μg per liter in the low MAP group and 12 μg per liter in the high MAP group,
