Predicting recovery after cardiac arrest outside the hospital
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study reviews medical records of people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital, were treated by emergency doctors, and taken to Kepler University Hospital. The goal is to learn what factors predict how well patients recover, which could help improve future care.

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 how well patients do after a cardiac arrest, focusing on how care has improved over time following new guidelines. It aims to find better ways to help people who survive a cardiac arrest.
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.”
This trial studies a rehabilitation program for adults who survived a first out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery after leaving the hospital by using guided follow-up and surveys to see how people are doing over time.
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 tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
