The aim of this study was to compare serum S100B levels and EEG findings as prognostic indexes in comatose (GCS<8) patients after cardiac arrest. ⋯ The association of serum S100B levels with EEG might be helpful when used together to formulate outcome in comatose patients within 24 h after cardiac arrest. However, increased levels of S100B 12 h after a cardiac arrest might be expression of a still amendable brain damage.
