Hypertonic lactate treatment after cardiac arrest
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving a specific IV fluid (hypertonic lactate) soon after resuscitation from cardiac arrest can improve recovery. It is for adults who remain in a deep unresponsive state after return of spontaneous circulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Have a return of spontaneous circulation that lasts more than 20 minutes
- Be in a deep unresponsive state (GCS score under 9)
- Be more than 15 minutes from return of circulation (ROSC) to start of treatment
- Cardiac arrest must not be from a major injury/trauma

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 Phase 2 study tests whether early high-dose vitamin C given through a vein can improve outcomes for people who remain unconscious after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with shock. It may help by supporting recovery during the time when the body is under severe stress.
This study tests if giving magnesium soon after a cardiac arrest can protect the brain and improve recovery. It is for adults who have been brought back to life after a heart stoppage.
This trial tests a new way to cool the body quickly after a cardiac arrest using a special liquid that is breathed into the lungs. The goal is to protect the brain and improve recovery.
This trial tests a targeted approach to manage oxygen levels in the brain for patients who received ECMO (a machine that does the heart and lung work) after a cardiac arrest that did not respond to standard CPR. The goal is to improve brain recovery and outcomes.
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.
