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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special brain scan (PET-CT) to see how the brain is affected after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better understand damage and recovery in people who remain unconscious.
This study tests a special way to cool the lungs quickly after a cardiac arrest, using a liquid ventilation method. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and other organs after the heart is restarted.
This trial tests if gently cooling the body to 33°C after a cardiac arrest in the hospital improves recovery compared to keeping a normal temperature. It aims to protect the brain and help patients wake up better.
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 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 your heart rate changes (heart rate variability) to predict brain injury after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors identify brain damage earlier so they can provide better care.
