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This study looks at what happens to blood flow and organs after life support is withdrawn in people who are expected to pass away soon.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This trial tests special monitors on organ donors after life support is withdrawn, to see how the organs and brain behave.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This trial looks at how a person’s nervous system signals change right after life support is withdrawn.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This study aims to predict how long the dying process will take after life support is withdrawn, which may help improve the organ donation process. Participants will be adults who are eligible for donation after circulatory death.
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 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 study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
