Cerebrospinal fluid creatine kinase activity and neurologic recovery after cardiac arrest

Neurology

Abstract

We evaluated prospectively the relation between cerebrospinal fluid creatine kinase activity (CSF CK) and neurologic recovery after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Without knowledge of the enzyme results, we determined whether patients awoke, followed commands, or had comprehensible speech. CSF CK was significantly higher in never-awakening than in awakening patients. After cardiac arrest, elevation of CSF CK predicts poor neurologic recovery.
