Brief Summary:

Mild therapeutic hypothermia is currently recommended in management of cardiac arrests with shockable rhythm. In mechanically ventilated patients who were resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, mild therapeutic hypothermia side effects are conductive for infectious complications and especially for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Despite high incidence of VAP and other infectious complications, it is not currently recommended to use antibiotic prophylaxis on the responsible germs. Yet VAP incidence could be decreased if an antibiotic therapy was systematically given to patient treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia after a cardiac arrest. Several retrospective studies showed less infectious complications but also decreased morbidity and mortality related to these complications when antibiotic therapy was given early to patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Ventilator-associated Pneumonia Cardiac Arrests With Shockable Rhythm Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia Preventive Antibiotics Drug: Amoxicillin - clavulanic acid Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Multicenter add-on randomized controlled double-blind trial assessing the efficacy of preventive antibiotics amoxicillin-clavulanic acid vs placebo to prevent occurrence of early VAP after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest receiving mild therapeutic hypothermia, in addition to usual VAP prevention measures.
