Clinical Trial Summary

This single-center proof of concept study aims to assess the efficacy of a blood pressure strategy targeting person- and time-specific cerebral blood flow compared with standard-of-care using neuron-specific enolase as a quantitative biomarker of brain injury. Our central hypothesis is that an individualized blood pressure strategy targeting cerebral perfusion, compared with standard-of-care, will reduce the extent of brain injury as indicated by changes in levels of neuron-specific enolase from baseline at 72 hours. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will randomly assign 90 patients to an individualized blood pressure management strategy targeting cerebral blood flow, where optimal blood pressure will be serially calculated by the ICM+ brain monitoring software (Cambridge, UK) using inputs from transcranial Doppler ultrasound and near-infrared spectroscopy (intervention), versus achieving a standard level of systemic blood pressure (standard-of-care). This is done in a 2:1 allocation (60 to intervention, 30 to standard-of-care), in the first 72 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
