Steroid Treatment as Anti-inflammatory and Neuroprotective Agent Following Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. A Randomized Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Methylprednisolone and Isotonic saline for Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 158 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Comatose patients resuscitated from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) often develop a complicated systemic inflammatory response and have a poor prognosis with neurological damage being the most common cause of death. This study will investigate the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effect of early treatment with the glucocorticoid methylprednisolone measured by interleukin-6 and neuron-specific enolase levels in resuscitated comatose OHCA-patients.
