Acta Anaesthesiol ScandPublished Protocol of a randomised controlled trial

Study context

Population
Adults (≥ 18 years) with presumed cardiac-cause out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), sustained ROSC and persistent unconsciousness on ICU admission
Planned comparison
Early vs late wake-up call
Primary endpoint

Follow-up
30 days after randomization
