Liquid ventilation cooling after cardiac arrest
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a cardiac arrest and were revived, either in or out of the hospital.
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- You were unconscious after being revived (not able to follow commands).
- The cooling treatment can start within 2 hours of your heart restarting.
- Your weight is between about 88 and 205 pounds (40 to 93 kg).
- You do not have certain severe heart or lung conditions, and your breathing tube is properly placed.

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 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 different ways to care for people after a cardiac arrest, focusing on head position and body temperature. It aims to see if these methods help improve recovery and survival.
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 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 a treatment called ECPR, which uses a machine to pump blood and add oxygen after a cardiac arrest that doesn't respond to standard CPR and shocks. It aims to improve survival and recovery by quickly starting this support in the hospital.
