<p scxw112547033"="">46 providers completed the survey (29% response rate), with 62% being neurologists or residents in internal medicine. 48% were NOT comfortable with PCANP methodology, and 58% were NOT satisfied with their PCANP training. Tests ranked highest to lowest for importance for PCANP were: CT brain (38% chose as top choice); EEG; MRI brain; SSEP; neuron specific enolase (NSE, 8% chose as top choice). History and physical exam elements ranked most to least important for PCANP were: resuscitation time (similar in importance to pupillary reflex); presence of early myoclonus; arrest rhythm; corneal reflex; limb motor response.
<p scxw112547033"=""> When asked to choose when to assess patients for reliable physical exam results for PCANP, a substantial number of respondents chose answers that were 1-3 days earlier than suggested in the guideline. Of the respondents, this was 53% for pupillary reflex; 48% for corneal reflex; and 37% for the limb motor response. When asked for false positive rate (FPR) estimates in PCANP: a) 91% of respondents underestimated the NSE FPR substantially; b) 56% underestimated the limb motor response FPR substantially.
