Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Conscious patients (obeying verbal commands) 2. Females of childbearing potential (unless a negative HCG test can rule out pregnancy within the inclusion window) 3. In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) 4. OHCA of presumed non-cardiac cause, e.g. after trauma or dissection/rupture of major artery OR Cardiac arrest caused by initial hypoxia (i.e. drowning, suffocation, hanging). 5. Known congenital bleeding diathesis (medically induced coagulopathy due to treatment with Vitamin K antagonists, Thrombininhibitors, Factor Xa inihbitors, ADP-receptor inhibitors, Aspirin, Asasantin, Persantin, NSAID, unfractionated and low molecular weight heparin does NOT exclude the patient). 6.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluating the safety and efficacy of low-dose Iloprost administration and blood pressure in addition to standard therapy, as compared to standard therapy alone, in post-cardiac-arrest-syndrome patients. ;Secondary Objective: NA;Primary end point(s): Change in biomarkers indicative of endothelial activation and damage (sE-selectin, syndecan-1, thrombomodulin, sVE-cadherin, nucleosomes) and sympathoadrenal overactivation (Epinephrine/norepinephrine) from baseline to 48 hours post-randomization. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 48 hours post-randomization | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints: Change in functional hemostatic blood test (Thromboelastography (TEG) and whole blood platelet aggregometry (Multiplate)) and blood cell and endothelial cell derived microparticles from baseline to 48 hours post-randomization. Feasibility of blood pressure target intervention (target 90%). Interaction of primary end-points and blood pressure target. Blood pressure target impact on levels of NSE at 48h and 72 h post inclusion Tertiary endpoints: (1) Days of vasopressor, ventilator and renal replacement therapy post-randomization. (2) Changes in SOFA score from baseline to 48 h and day 5 and 7 post-randomization. (3) Neurological function graded by modified Rankong Scale (mRS) and Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) at 180 days. (4) Severe bleeding (intracranial or clinical bleeding with the use of 3 RBC units or more/24 hours). (5) Use of blood products (in ICU) post-randomization. (6) Difference in day 7, 30 and 180 day mortality between patients receiving active treatment (lloprost) and placebo. EGFR and urine output on day 2 and 3, need for renal replacement therapy during the ICU stay.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary endpoint: 48 hours post-randomization Tertiary endpoints: evaluated througout the 48 hour treatment period and after 7, 30, 90 and 180 days | — |
