Energy Use in Cardiac Arrest Patients During Temperature Control
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study will measure how much energy your body burns and what fuels it uses (like fat or sugar) during temperature management after a cardiac arrest. It aims to learn how to better support your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated in the emergency department of Beijing Chao-yang Hospital.
- Your heart restarted (return of spontaneous circulation) but you are still unconscious.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) and have a breathing tube to help you breathe.
- You are receiving targeted temperature management (a treatment to control your body temperature).
- You do not have a traumatic brain injury or a stroke as shown on a CT scan.
- You do not have severe health problems like wasting syndrome, thyroid disease, or cancer.

This study uses a special whole-body scan (PET-CT) to look at hidden brain damage in people who remain unconscious after a cardiac arrest. The results could help doctors understand brain injuries better and improve future care.
This trial compares two ways of controlling body temperature after a cardiac arrest that happens in the hospital: cooling to 91.4°F (33°C) versus keeping a normal temperature. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better.
This trial tests a new way to cool the body quickly after a cardiac arrest using a special liquid that is breathed into the lungs. The goal is to protect the brain and improve recovery.
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 trial tests different breathing techniques used by paramedics during cardiac arrest to see which approach improves survival. If you or a loved one has had a cardiac arrest, this study may help guide better care.
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.
