Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine if prophylactic administration of amiodarone for 72 hours in critically ill patients admitted after an OHCA with shockable rhythm, with a confirmed or a presumed cardiac cause, decreases the incidence of a composite endpoint of 30-day (starting from inclusion) all-cause mortality and/or severe in-hospital ventricular arrhythmia recurrence (ventricular fibrillation and/or ventricular tachycardia requiring intervention including re-arrest)
