Preface
We pose a perspective by presenting new Japanese studies regarding PCAS (post- cardiac arrest syndrome), which had been defined as the system failure after whole- body ischemia-reperfusion injuries in the 2008 ILCOR statement [1]. For the targeted readers such as emergency physicians, intensivists, cardiologists, neurologists, and the others treating PCAS patients, we provide several recent topics of PCAS: (1) non-convulsive status epilepticus with neuromonitoring during TTM; (2) the timing of the crucial treatments for PACS, PCI, and TTM; (3) the early predictions for survival and neurological outcome by lactate clearance in post-cardiac arrest survivors; (4) TTM indication for suffocation cases; and (5) a stricter outcome prediction using physiological parameters for post-cardiac arrest victims, which all could facilitate the readers to do future research in this field. Furthermore, we summarize and make editors’ comments on each topic for the purpose of the readers’ better understanding of the book. Dr. Kazuhiro Sugiyama et al., Tokyo Metropo
