Extended follow-up for cardiac arrest survivors and caregivers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows up on survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who were already in the STEPCARE trial. It also looks at the well-being of their main caregiver (like a family member or close friend) to see how everyone is doing over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were part of the earlier STEPCARE study for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
- You survived and are willing to give consent to be in this follow-up study
- If you are a caregiver: you live with the survivor, or have weekly contact (in person or by phone), and you are the one caregiver they nominate

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how to predict delayed cognitive (thinking) impairment in people who survived a cardiac arrest but initially seemed neurologically okay. It may help identify who is at higher risk so follow-up and support can be planned earlier.
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 trial uses a special EEG device (Brainstatus) to measure brain activity in people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if certain brain waves can predict a good recovery.
This trial tests a virtual care program to help people recover after cardiac arrest. It offers follow-up support through video or phone sessions.
This study looks at a “whole-person” support plan for people who survived a non-traumatic cardiac arrest. It aims to improve the survivor’s health and also help support family members as they recover.
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.
