Article Synopsis
- Neuromuscular blockade (NMB) agents were tested to see if they could lower lactate levels and improve outcomes in comatose patients after cardiac arrest.
- A study involving 83 patients compared the effects of continuous NMB for 24 hours against usual care, measuring changes in lactate levels and survival rates.
- The results showed no significant difference in lactate reduction, overall survival, or good functional outcomes between the two groups.
