[Offner, Patrick]

Actually, I have seen patients with severe traumatic brain and this scenario regain vital signs with resuscitation--only to re-arrest shortly thereafter.

Severe  traumatic brain injury can act this way. The patients initial
shock  presentation can also account for the pupillary findings.

Dear Dr. Offner,

Would the success of the intial resusitation with IVF's be a likely  scenario
in a severe traumatic brain injury?  That is something that is  bothering me
about that.
