Study of circulation after life support is removed
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens to blood flow and organs after life support is withdrawn in people who are expected to pass away soon. It aims to understand the body's response during this time to improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your medical team expects to remove life support within the next 24 hours.
- You do not have a permanent breathing tube (tracheostomy).
- You are not pregnant.

This trial tests special monitors on organ donors after life support is withdrawn, to see how the organs and brain behave. It may help improve organ transplant outcomes.
This trial looks at how a person’s nervous system signals change right after life support is withdrawn. It may help doctors better understand what to expect during end-of-life care and how to monitor the process.
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 cardiac arrest affects people's quality of life and survival after being in the intensive care unit. Participating may help doctors understand how to improve care for future patients.
This study uses brain signals to estimate how long a person may take to pass away after life support is removed. The goal is to improve the timing of organ donation for those who choose it.
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.
