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.
This trial tests a set of treatments designed to protect the brain in people who remain unconscious after their heart restarts following a cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery by preventing further brain injury.
This study looks at how well CPR is performed before and after patients arrive at the hospital. It may help improve emergency care for people who have a cardiac arrest.
This study looks at whether targeting a specific blood pressure after a cardiac arrest can improve outcomes. It is mainly for people who are in intensive care and need a breathing machine because they are in a deep coma.
