NCT02541591

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the Neuroprotect trial is to assess whether or not a new goal directed hemodynamic optimization strategy can reduce cerebral ischemia in post-cardiac arrest (CA) patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • % of Ischaemic Voxels With an ADC<0.65 mm2/s on Day 4-5 (Diffusion Weighted MRI)

    cerebral ischemia in post-cardiac arrest (CA) patients as quantified by the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI) to be performed at day 4- 5 post-CA using ADC scores in 11 pre-specified brain regions (frontal cortex, parietal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex, precentral cortex, postcentral cortex, caudate nucleus, putamen, thalamus, cerebellum, pons).

    day 4-5

Study Arms (2)

Neuroprotect

EXPERIMENTAL

MAP between 85-100mmHg SVO2 between 65-75%

Other: Neuroprotective goal directed hemodynamic optimization

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

MAP\>65mmHg

Other: MAP > 65mmHg
