Dose optimization of early high-dose valproic acid for neuroprotection in a swine cardiac arrest model

Aim: High-dose valproic acid (VPA) improves the survival and neurologic outcomes after asphyxial cardiac arrest (CA) in rats. We characterized the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of high-dose VPA in a swine CA model to advance clinical translation. Methods: After 8 ​min of untreated v...
