ABSTRACT
Finding neuroprotective agents to counteract the deleterious effects of hypoxia on neuronal cells successfully is one of the most critical targets of clinical research since preclinical studies have identified potential neuroprotective strategies. In clinical practice, amantadine and piracetam are used with reasonable success. We present the cases of three patients with acute brain hypoxia secondary to cardiac arrest, to whom Cerebrolysin was added to the standard neuroprotective treatment regimen, leading to a notable improvement in functional outcome.
