Brief Summary
Easy Care study wants to demonstrate a correlation between intra-CPR infrared quantitative pupillometry and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Neurological pupil index (NPi) will be used alone and in association with end-tidal CO2.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) prediction
We are searching for possible correlation between pupillary reactivity (NPi) collected during resuscitation manoeuvres and ROSC. NPi is a numeric score ranges from 0 (unreactive pupils) and 5 (normal reflex).
Variable because depends on the cardiac resuscitation manoeuvers lasting usually not more than 45 minutes
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Correlation of NPi and end tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and ROSC prediction
Variable because depends on the cardiac resuscitation manoeuvers lasting usually not more than 45 minutes
Correlation between NPi and Neurological Outcome as Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)
1 month, 6 months, 1 year
Correlation between NPi trend and ROSC
Variable because depends on the cardiac resuscitation manoeuvers lasting usually not more than 45 minutes
Correlation between NPi trend and mRS in ROSC patients
1 month, 6 months, 1 year
Interventions
Digital pupillometry performed during cardiopulmonary resuscutation (CPR) every CPR cycle end in case of not intubated patient, or every 2 minutes in case of intubated patient
Eligibility Criteria
all adults present in the Lombardy region at the time of cardiac arrest.

You may not qualify if:
- Traumatic Brain injury
- Cerebrovascular emergecies at computer tomography (CT) scan after hospital admission
- Peripheral or cortical blindness
- One or both eyes loss
- Iris palsy or known peripheral anisocoria
- No indication for resuscitation
