Early neurological prognostication with biomarkers, EEG and CT

Early neurological prognostication with biomarkers, EEG and CT: Biomarker samples collected at 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after randomisation, CT and EEG performed as early as possible after 24 h post randomisation in patients still unconscious (defined as not awake and able to follow verbal commands)

Study summary

This is a prospective observational substudy of the STEPCARE trial ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05564754) with the aim to examine whether prognostication of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest can be performed earlier than the 72 h time-point recommended by guidelines today.
