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.
