Predicting late thinking problems after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how to predict delayed cognitive (thinking) impairment in people who survived a cardiac arrest but initially seemed neurologically okay. It may help identify who is at higher risk so follow-up and support can be planned earlier.
Daejeon, Seo-guAges 18 years+ - NCT06327334Recruiting
Brain-heart interaction study after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact after a cardiac arrest that leaves someone unconscious. It aims to understand these connections better, which could help improve care for future patients.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05480319Recruiting
Testing a cardiac arrest response system in the emergency room
This trial checks whether a new emergency-room system helps respond faster and more consistently when someone has a cardiac arrest. If you are eligible, you may be included while you are treated in the emergency department.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05914779Recruiting
Early antibiotics after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This study looks at whether starting antibiotics soon after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest helps patients who are unlikely to have an infection. Antibiotics may prevent or treat infection-related complications, but only if certain infection and health conditions are met.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 18 years+ - NCT06608771Recruiting
Outcomes of cardiac arrest patients over the years
This trial looks at how well patients do after a cardiac arrest, focusing on how care has improved over time following new guidelines. It aims to find better ways to help people who survive a cardiac arrest.
Monza, Monza E BrianzaAges 18 years+ - NCT06835491RecruitingPhase 3
Amiodarone to prevent heart rhythm problems after cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving the drug amiodarone early can prevent dangerous heart rhythm problems in patients who survived a cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm. If it works, it could help more people recover.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07481396Recruiting
Studying brain injury after cardiac arrest through spinal fluid
This trial is looking at the spinal fluid of people who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated for brain injury. The goal is to learn more about brain damage and find new ways to help patients recover.
Daejeon, Jung-guAges 18 years+ - NCT06575101Recruiting
Energy Use in Cardiac Arrest Patients During Temperature Control
This study will measure how much energy your body burns and what fuels it uses (like fat or sugar) during temperature management after a cardiac arrest. It aims to learn how to better support your recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07329842Recruiting
Bed height and CPR quality in pediatric simulation
This trial tests how the height of a hospital bed affects chest compression quality and the physical strain on doctors during CPR on a child-sized manikin. It may help find the optimal bed height to improve CPR effectiveness.
Antalya, AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT05679739Recruiting
Caring for brain after cardiac arrest
This study tests a treatment approach aimed at protecting the brain and supporting better blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest. It may help some people who are in a coma right after the event recover more safely or with less brain injury.
SingaporeAges 21–79 - NCT07564778Recruiting
Pain Management After Cardiac Arrest Recovery
This study examines how to better treat pain in patients who have survived cardiac arrest and are unconscious in the hospital. Researchers want to understand pain experiences and test pain-relief strategies during early recovery.
HalmstadAges 18 years+ - NCT06397417Recruiting
ECMO for refractory cardiac arrest
This study looks at a treatment called ECMO, a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs, to help people whose heart has stopped and does not restart with standard CPR. Researchers want to learn if placing ECMO at the scene can improve survival.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07374289Recruiting
CPR and life support before hospital in Ostrava
This trial is testing a way to start CPR and emergency life support (ECPR) at the scene of a cardiac arrest in Ostrava. It might help if you or a loved one has a witnessed cardiac arrest that is likely caused by a heart problem, and you're under 70 years old.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18–70 - NCT04859270Recruiting
Rehab support for survivors after cardiac arrest
This study looks at a “whole-person” support plan for people who survived a non-traumatic cardiac arrest. It aims to improve the survivor’s health and also help support family members as they recover.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04446585Recruiting
Study of early help for witnessed home cardiac arrests
This study looks at witnessed sudden cardiac arrest happening in residential areas, and tests whether a new first-responder approach gets help to people faster. It may help improve outcomes after cardiac arrest by improving the timing and coordination of emergency response.
