amiodarone and Central Nervous System Disease

amiodarone has been researched along with Central Nervous System Disease in 3 studies

Amiodarone: An antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.
amiodarone : A member of the class of 1-benzofurans that is 1-benzofuran substituted by a butyl group at position 2 and a 4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-3,5-diiodobenzoyl group at position 3. It is a cardiovascular drug used for the treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias.

"In this randomized, double-blind trial, we compared parenteral amiodarone, lidocaine, and saline placebo, along with standard care, in adults who had nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia after at least one shock, and vascular access."9.22Amiodarone, Lidocaine, or Placebo in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants Scoring at or Below a 3 on the MRS Scale

Neurologic status at discharge will be assessed using the modified Rankin Score (MRS). A higher value indicates a worse outcome. 0-No symptoms at all; 1-No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities, 2-Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance, 3-Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance; 4-Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, 5-Severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention; 6-Dead (NCT01401647)
Timeframe: Patients will be followed from the time of the cardiac arrest until death, hospital discharge, or December 31, 2015, whichever occurs first.

Amiodarone182

Normal Saline175

Number of Participants Who Survive From the Time of Cardiac Arrest to Hospital Discharge

Patients may die in the field (outside of the hospital at the time of the cardiac arrest), at the emergency room, in the hospital, or they are discharged alive from the hospital. (NCT01401647)
Timeframe: Patients will be followed from the time of the cardiac arrest until death, hospital discharge, or December 31, 2015, whichever occurs first.
