VALDES, Paola Andrea; GOMEZ, Francisco  and  ARENAS, Iván Darío. Resonancia magnética con espectroscopia para predecir lesiones neurológicas posteriores a paro cardiorrespiratorio. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2008, vol.36, n.3, pp.217-220. ISSN 0120-3347.

The advance in the reanimation techniques andin the devekpment of new medicines for inotmpic support have made itpossible to improve the survival a after a cardiorespiratory arrest. Hotuever, given thefrequency and importame of the neurological ssquel that are associated to this svent, the injuries of fhe central nervous sjstem persist as one of the most important associated morbidities. For this reason, the indicators of neurological prognosis play a fundamental role tuith the management of thesepatients. This is the review of the role play ed by magnetic resonance spectroscopy in tht evaluation, management andprediction of the long term outcome after injuúes to the central nervous system like those that may occur during a cardiorespiratory arrest.

Keywords : MRI with spectroscopy prognosis sardiac arrext; ischemic cepahakpnats.
