Treatment of ELectrographic STatus Epilepticus After Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation-2: Multicenter Randomised Clinical Trial and Health Economic Evaluation of Anti-seizure Treatment in Comatose Cardiac Arrest Patients With SE on Continuous EEG
Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The goal of this comparative effectiveness trial is to study electrographic status epilepticus (ESE) treatment in comatose patients after cardiac arrest. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: * Does ESE treatment improve outcome? * What is the impact of ESE treatment on healthcare costs? Participants in the the intervention group will receive standard care completed with anti-seizure treatment. The control group will receive standard care without anti-seizure treatment.

Treatments
Other: Intervention group
Standard care completed with stepwise anti-seizure treatment according to protocols for clinically overt status epilepticus. This consists of a stepwise approach consisting of 3 potential steps. Each next step will be taken as soon as possible (within 30 minutes of ESE first diagnosis or recurrence) if the previous step was insufficiently effective to sustainably suppress ESE.
