About this trial

WAKE-OHCA is a prospective observational substudy of the Danish Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (DANOHCA) trial, identifier NCT05895838. The aim is to collect early neuromonitoring data to identify key predictors of successful wake-up.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years

OHCA of presumed cardiac cause

Sustained ROSC, defined as persistent signs of circulation and no need for chest compressions or mechanical circulatory support for 20 minutes

Unconsciousness (GCS <9) (patients not able to obey verbal commands) after sustained ROSC at the time of randomization

Disqualifiers

Females of childbearing potential if pregnancy is suspected (unless a negative HCG test can rule out pregnancy within the inclusion window)

Known bleeding diathesis (medically induced coagulopathy (e.g. warfarin, NOAC, clopidogrel) does not exclude the patient)

Suspected or confirmed acute intracranial bleeding

Suspected or confirmed acute stroke
