Cerebral hypoxia/ischemia is a common cause of neurologic dysfunction following cardiopulmonary resuscitation. With the advent of aggressive resuscitatiQ, il;m.ethods to treat cardiopulmonary arrest, more patients are surviving to live with posthypoxic/ postischemic neurologic syndromes. Thus, there is an urgent need to understand the basic aspects of the problem. This monograph consists of reviews from: s'c5ientists using advanced techniques for basic research into the molecular neurob ology of the mechanisms and effects of cerebral hypoXia/ischemia, and from cliniciahs ctively involved in...
