Continuous neuromuscular blockade infusion for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients treated with targeted temperature management: A multicenter randomized controlled trial

Abstract

In OHCA subjects who underwent TTM, a continuous infusion of NMB did not reduce lactate levels and did not improve survival or neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Our results indicated a limited potential for the routine use of NMB during early TTM. However, this trial may be underpowered to detect clinical differences, and future research should be conducted.
