Results
During the inclusion time, 53 patients (mean age: 58 ± 15; male: 48 (90%)) were enrolled, including 18 with STEMI (34%). Mean resuscitation delays were: “no flow” 4.4 ± 6, “low flow” 23.2 ± 16 min. Comparison of main data according to the intra hospital outcome (patients in the “good outcome” are those discharged with good cerebral performance or moderate cerebral disability, patients in the “poor outcome” group are others) is presented in Table 1 .
