Emergency vs Delayed Coronary Angiogram in Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Results of the Randomized, Multicentric EMERGE Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although an emergency coronary angiogram (CAG) is recommended for patients who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with ST-segment elevation on the postresuscitation electrocardiogram (ECG), this strategy is still debated in patients without ST-segment elevation.

Objective

To assess the 180-day survival rate with Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1 or 2 of patients who experience an OHCA without ST-segment elevation on ECG and undergo emergency CAG vs delayed CAG.

Design, setting, and participants

The Emergency vs Delayed Coronary Angiogram in Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (EMERGE) trial randomly assigned survivors of an OHCA without ST-segment elevation on ECG to either emergency or delayed (48 to 96 hours) CAG in 22 French
