An outcome model with asphyxial cardiac arrest in rats has been developed for quantifying brain damage. Twenty-two rats were randomized into three groups. Control group I was normal, was conscious, and had no asphyxia (n = 6). ⋯ The average total brain histopathologic damage score in group III (n = 9) was 2.1 (p < 0.05 vs. group I or II). A reproducible outcome model of cardiac arrest in rats was documented. It provides a tool for investigating pathophysiological mechanisms of neuronal death caused by a transient global hypoxic-ischemic brain insult.
