The Cardiac Arrest Survival Postresuscitation In-hospital (CASPRI) scorecard and nomogram for favourable neurological survival. For this in-hospital cardiac arrest risk score, points for each variable are determined, and a summary score is obtained. The corresponding likelihood of surviving to hospital discharge without severe neurological disability is determined from the risk table or plot. Adapted with permission from Chan et al. CPC, cerebral performance score; VF/VT, ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
