There are a variety of factors that contribute to anoxic brain injury. The primary mechanism for injury is a result of a lack of oxygen to the brain, therefore any condition which causes this, such as [[cardiac arrest]] or [[airway obstruction]], can cause anoxic brain injury. | |||

Overview
There are a variety of factors that contribute to anoxic brain injury. The primary mechanism for injury is a result of a lack of oxygen to the brain, therefore any condition which causes this, such as cardiac arrest or airway obstruction, can cause anoxic brain injury.
Pathophysiology
The underlying mechanism of post cardiac arrest syndrome is a combination of: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
Systemic Response to Ischemia and Reperfusion
Myocardial Dysfunction
Brain Injury
Effects of Persistent Precipitating Pathologies
- Cardiovascular disease (Acute coronary syndromes, cardiomyopathy)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Central nervous system diseases (e.g. cerebrovascular accident)
- Thromboembolic disorders (e.g. pulmonary emboli)
- Drug /substance overdose, poisoning
- Infections (sepsis, pneumonia)
- Volume loss (Hypovolemia: e.g. hemorrhage, dehydration)
