Does sedation confound outcome prediction in cardiac arrest survivors treated with hypothermia?
Sedative medications are commonly used in proximity of the 72-h neurological examination in comatose CPR survivors and are an important prognostication confounder. Patients treated with hypothermia are more likely to receive sedation than those who are not treated with hypothermia.
In normal weight and obese men, lower circulating NP concentrations are associated with higher insulin and glucose concentrations and not with the proportion of total fat mass or the distribution of fat mass.
