Investigating NFL Levels in Patients After Cardiac Arrest

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to explore the pharmacodynamics of neurofilament light chain (NFL) in patients who have experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and have been successfully resuscitated. It will measure serum levels of NFL at various time points after ICU admission to assess differences between patients with favorable and non-favorable neurological outcomes. By analyzing these levels, the study seeks to identify potential biomarkers that could predict neurological recovery in this patient population.

• Early double sequential defibrillation for cardiac arrest outside the hospital

  We test whether using two defibrillators in quick succession after the first failed shock helps adults with out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest and a shockable rhythm survive more often than continuing standard single shocks.
