Change in neuron specific enolase levels in out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest survivors as a simple and useful tool to predict neurological prognosis.

Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a prognostic marker in out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (OHCA) survivors treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH). The objectives were to analyze the correlation between dynamic changes in NSE and outcomes and to determine the measurement timing that best predicts neurological status. ⋯ Dynamic changes in NSE serum levels are good markers of hard clinical outcomes after an OHCA due to shockable rhythm in an MTH-treated cohort. NSE measurements at specific intervals after OHCA may predict events even more precisely.
