Check body temperature in adults after out-of-hospital arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial measures core body temperature in adults who were taken to the hospital after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It aims to understand temperature patterns during care, which may help guide how patients are treated after the event.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- You had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were moved to a hospital
- There are not obvious signs that you have already died
- Injuries are not obviously incompatible with life
- Your death was not confirmed at the scene

This trial collects information from patients with accidental hypothermia (body temperature at or below 95°F) to learn more about what causes it, who it affects, and how it's treated. There is no experimental treatment—just data gathering. Your story could help researchers improve care for future cases.
This trial tests if starting body cooling before reaching the hospital can help protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for adults who are unconscious after their heartbeat has been restored by emergency services.
This study tests a new arm-worn sensor called Thermodiag that measures body temperature continuously. It aims to see how accurate and safe it is for patients in intensive care, potentially replacing frequent manual temperature checks.
This trial tests whether cooling the brain through the nose right after a cardiac arrest improves survival. Paramedics will start a cooling treatment within 20 minutes of arriving, and it may help protect your brain while you are unconscious.
This trial compares two ways of controlling body temperature after a cardiac arrest that happens in the hospital: cooling to 91.4°F (33°C) versus keeping a normal temperature. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better.
This trial tests if cooling the body (hypothermia) or keeping normal body temperature (normothermia) after emergency heart-lung support (ECMO) improves survival in adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
