Ultrasound checks after cardiac arrest to predict recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound pictures of the eye and blood vessels after a non-traumatic cardiac arrest to see if early findings can predict how well patients recover. It may help doctors recognize which patients are more likely to improve using simple bedside tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18+) after a cardiac arrest
- The cardiac arrest was not caused by trauma or injury
- You got return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), meaning your heartbeat restarted on its own
- You will be able to receive ultrasound checks after resuscitation

This study uses a special light-based device to measure brain oxygen levels and blood flow in patients recovering from cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if this monitoring can help doctors better predict patient outcomes.
This study tests a way to monitor blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest that was not caused by trauma. It aims to help doctors find the best blood pressure to support brain recovery in the ICU.
This study is testing new tools and markers to better predict recovery after cardiac arrest when brain injury may occur. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated at Saint-Luc hospital.
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
This study looks at measurements taken after someone survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to see if the results can predict outcomes. It may help doctors understand which patients are likely to do better and guide care in the ICU.
This study is trying to find better ways to predict recovery in people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors give more accurate information to families.
