摘要: PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances about inhaled gases as novel neuroprotective agents in the postcardiac arrest period. RECENT FINDINGS Inhaled gases, nitric oxide (NO) and molecular hydrogen (H2), noble xenon (Xe) argon (Ar) have shown properties after resuscitation. In experimental settings, protective effect these has been demonstrated both in-vitro studies animal models cardiac arrest. They attenuate neuronal degeneration improve neurological function resuscitation acting on different pathophysiological pathways. Safety Xe H2 reported phase 1 clinical trials. A randomized 2 trial showed effects Xe, combined with targeted temperature management. inhalation for 24 h preserves white matter integrity measured by fractional anisotropy diffusion tensor MRI. SUMMARY Ar, NO, consistently studies. Ventilation appears be well tolerated pigs preliminary human Results from 3 trials are needed assess their efficacy treatment brain injury.
