Predictive value of interleukin-6 in post-cardiac arrest patients treated with targeted temperature management at 33°C or 36°C.
Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) is characterized by systemic inflammation, however data on the prognostic value of inflammatory markers is sparse. We sought to investigate the importance of systemic inflammation, assessed by interleukin-6 (IL-6) in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
