Study on brain recovery after cardiac arrest
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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 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 uses a special brain MRI scan to help predict recovery in people who survive a cardiac arrest but remain unconscious. It aims to give doctors and families a clearer picture of brain function when the outlook is uncertain.
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.
