Summary

Therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest har shown to improve the rate of survival in a significant way. However hypothermia also causes leak of fluid into the surrounding tissue. This edema could lead to damage to the same tissue, not beneficial for the patients. We therefore try to evaluate if hyperosmolar, hyperoncotic fluid as an alternative to std. treatment (NaCl/RA)could affect the edema in a positive way, and result to a better outcome neurological for the patients.
