title: Cerebral resuscitation. A review.
abstract: The brain is the target organ of resuscitology. Besides known cardiopulmonary optimalisation, new therapeutic modalities--in particular barbiturate therapy--are introduced in the intensive care of patients with various syndromes of postischemic encephalopathy. An overview of animal research and our clinical experience in "cerebral resuscitation" is discussed.
