Brain oxygen monitoring after cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special head sensor can measure brain oxygen levels in people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The goal is to see if this measurement can help predict how well the brain will recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You had a cardiac arrest (heart stopped) that happened outside the hospital and was witnessed.
- You were treated by a mobile emergency team (SMUR).
- You do not have an injury to your head or face that would prevent placing a sensor on the forehead.
- Your heart was not already beating on its own when the emergency team arrived.

This study tests a treatment approach aimed at protecting the brain and supporting better blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest. It may help some people who are in a coma right after the event recover more safely or with less brain injury.
This trial tests a bedside brain-monitoring method (near-infrared light and EEG) in people who are unconscious after severe brain injury from cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether it can help measure brain function during the first week after admission.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure brain oxygen levels and blood flow in patients recovering from cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if this monitoring can help doctors better predict patient outcomes.
This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in the brain during recovery from cardiac arrest. It aims to see if monitoring brain oxygen helps doctors make better treatment decisions after the heart restarts.
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 uses special monitoring devices to measure brain activity in patients receiving emergency mechanical heart-lung support (ECMO). The goal is to help doctors quickly predict which patients might recover neurologically and guide early treatment decisions.
