Lung cooling after cardiac arrest study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 84 years old.
- You were resuscitated after a cardiac arrest, either in or out of the hospital.
- It took less than 60 minutes to restart your heart.
- You are still unconscious and cannot follow commands after your heart restarted.
- The treatment must be able to start within 2 hours of your heart restarting.
- You must have a breathing tube that is 7.0 to 9.0 millimeters in size.

This trial tests if cooling the body (hypothermia) or keeping normal body temperature (normothermia) after emergency heart-lung support (ECMO) improves survival in adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
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 two treatments for people who are unconscious after their heart stops: a specific head position and a way to control body temperature. The goal is to see if these treatments help 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 is testing a special way of giving breaths (ventilation) during CPR to see if it helps more people survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It is for adults whose heart stopped due to a heart problem and were treated by paramedics.
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.
