Outcomes of cardiac arrest patients over the years
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You were revived after a cardiac arrest (your heart stopped beating).
- You were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) after being revived.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your cardiac arrest happened either at home, in public, or inside a hospital — it doesn't matter where.

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.
This trial studies the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) given before and during time in the hospital after a cardiac arrest. It may help improve how CPR is delivered to improve outcomes for future patients.
This trial is a registry, which means the researchers collect information about people who were treated in an intensive care unit after a cardiac arrest. It may help improve understanding of outcomes and care, which can guide future treatment.
This trial studies a rehabilitation program for adults who survived a first out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery after leaving the hospital by using guided follow-up and surveys to see how people are doing over time.
This study looks at quality of life and survival for teens and adults who are admitted to the ICU after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors understand which care approaches lead to better outcomes and wellbeing.
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.
