Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* In-hospital cardiac arrest
* OHCA of presumed non-cardiac cause, e.g. after trauma or dissection/rupture of major artery OR Cardiac arrest caused by initial hypoxia (i.e. drowning, suffocation, hanging).
* Known bleeding diathesis (medically induced coagulopathy (e.g warfarin, clopidogrel) does not exclude the patient).

* Systolic blood pressure < 80 mm Hg in spite of fluid loading/vasopressor and/or inotropic medication/intra aortic balloon pump#

* If the systolic blood pressure (SBP) is recovering during the inclusion window (220 minutes) the patient can be included.
