Frontal EEG in OHCA Feasibility Study

Austria45 participantsStarted 2024-01-01

Plain-language summary

This study aims to optimize the treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) by focusing on neurological outcomes through Bispectral Index (BIS) monitoring. It will evaluate the feasibility of BIS monitoring in the prehospital phase, assess the need for sedation based on BIS values, and examine the timing of interventions in ICU (intensive care unit) settings to identify irreversible Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury (HIBI).
