Score brain injury after cardiac arrest ICU admission
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares different scoring methods to estimate early brain injury when people are admitted to the ICU after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors choose the best early assessment approach for patients who are in a coma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (major) admitted to the ICU after a cardiac arrest
- The cardiac arrest happened outside the hospital (not during a hospital stay)
- You were very unresponsive on ICU admission, with a Glasgow score of 8 or less
- You are not under legal protection/guardianship
- You were not previously enrolled in this same study

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 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 looks at how your heart rate changes (heart rate variability) to predict brain injury after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors identify brain damage earlier so they can provide better care.
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 studies how to predict brain recovery early after a non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The goal is to help clinicians estimate outcome sooner, which may improve decision-making during intensive care.
This study looks at how to predict brain recovery after certain types of cardiac arrest. It aims to improve decision-making so people are not misjudged due to “self-fulfilling prophecy.”
