Study context
- Population
- Comatose adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of presumed cardiac cause and sustained ROSCplanned, 5 sites
- Participants
- 1,000 adults
- Planned comparison
- Backrest at 5° vs 35° elevation during initial 72 h or until extubation
- Primary endpoint
- Mortality
- Follow-up
- Within 90 days of cardiac arrest
Methodological detailsinvestigator-initiated, multicentre, 4 interventions (DANOHCA), Inclusion began June 2023; estimated 3-4 years, Kaplan-Meier curves with Cox regression
