Study of people’s experiences after nearly dying
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at what patients feel and remember after a serious life-threatening medical event, such as surviving cardiopulmonary resuscitation or intensive ICU care. It may help doctors and hospitals better understand patients’ emotional and recovery experiences after near-death moments.

This trial studies episodes of lost or altered consciousness that some people experience after a long stay in the ICU. It aims to understand how these episodes affect memory and recovery.
This study looks at brief episodes of being disconnected from your surroundings among very ill emergency patients. Researchers want to see how often this happens and what it means for recovery.
This trial is for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital and who received emergency resuscitation, where emergency doctors believed it was caused by a heart problem. The goal is to learn how to better treat or manage this type of cardiac arrest.
This study follows people admitted to a medical intensive care unit to understand long-term problems after critical illness. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how to improve recovery after an ICU stay.
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.
This trial looks at what happens to people after they survive a serious heart condition called cardiogenic shock, where the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood. Researchers want to understand recovery and improve care for survivors.
