Conditions

Cardiac Arrest (CA), Post Cardiac Arrest Syndrome

Keywords

cardiac arrest, post cardiac arrest syndrome, TNF-α antagonism

Brief summary

The investigators assessed the effect of TNF-α antagonism within 6 hours of return of spontaneous circulation on 30-day mortality in patients who remained comatose after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following cardiac arrest . In addition, the investigators explored the role of this treatment in modulating the systemic inflammatory response and its potential impact on 90- and 180-day morbidity and mortality and neurological outcomes.

Interventions

DRUGInfliximab

The TNF-α antagonist (infliximab) used by the experimenter was manufactured by Hisun Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. under the trade name anbaite.The dosage was administered at 5 mg/kg, dissolved in 250 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and delivered via intravenous infusion over 2 hours.

Patients in the control group received 250 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection as a placebo, administered via intravenous infusion over 2 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of good neurological function assessed by Modified Rankin scale neurologic function scores and cerebral performance category scores30 days, 3 months, and 6 months after randomizationModified Rankin scale neurologic function scores and cerebral performance category(CPC) scores at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months after randomization. Neurological function was assessed using the CPC and mRS scales, with CPC 1-2 and mRS 0-3 scores indicating a good neurological prognosis, and CPC 3-5 and mRS 4-6 scores indicating a poor neurological prognosis.
