Clinical Trial Summary

Recent evidence suggests ketamine may attenuate harmful cellular cascades taking place after brain injury that result in permanent damage. The investigators are interested in researching the application of this in the setting of cardiac arrest. Following cardiac arrest, the brain is deprived oxygen for a period of time, leading to the imitation of these harmful cellular processes. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive ketamine as part of their standard sedation procedures during cardiac arrest treatment have better neurological functioning compared to those who do not.
