Brain blood flow monitoring after cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a cardiac arrest that was not caused by an injury
- You are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
- Your motor response score is 5 or less
- You are in the medium-risk group on the TIMECARD score
- You do not have certain conditions like bleeding in the brain, blood clotting problems, or a terminal illness

This study tests a special sensor placed in a neck vein to continuously measure oxygen levels in the blood returning from the brain after cardiac arrest. The goal is to help doctors better understand and protect brain function during recovery in the ICU.
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.
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 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 looks at whether targeting a specific blood pressure after a cardiac arrest can improve outcomes. It is mainly for people who are in intensive care and need a breathing machine because they are in a deep coma.
