Frontal EEG in OHCA Feasibility Study
Sponsor: Medical University of Graz
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).

BIS Monitor
No interventions will be administered, but in addition to the standard of care according to the Guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council 2021, a frontal EEG-monitoring (BIS), a CPRMeter and a FlowMeter will be installed. The study will be observational only; the readings of the BIS monitor will be blinded to the treating PRU team.
