ObjectiveDespite substantial variability in the severity of post-anoxic encephalopathy, all comatose patients after cardiac arrest are usually treated according to the same standardized intensive care protocol, including sedation, mechanical ventilation, and targeted temperature management (TTM). We hypothesize that patients with a favourable EEG pattern (continuous EEG within 12 hours after cardiac arrest) may not benefit from prolonged sedation and TTM. We studied the feasibility and safety of...
