Temperature management's effect on gut health after cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how controlling body temperature after a cardiac arrest affects the bacteria in your gut and the substances they produce. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery after resuscitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been successfully revived after a cardiac arrest and received targeted temperature management.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have serious gut problems like a blockage or severe injury.
- You cannot have a weakened immune system, for example, from HIV or organ transplant medicines.

This study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around the brain and in the blood after a cardiac arrest. These proteins may help doctors predict how the patient will recover, which could guide their care.
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 checks on the long-term health of people who survived a cardiac arrest and received ultra-rapid cooling as part of an earlier study (OverCool). The goal is to see how they are doing over time.
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.
This trial tests if carefully controlling body temperature after surgery can prevent confusion or slow thinking in older adults recovering from major cancer operations.
This trial collects health information from people who have survived a cardiac arrest (when the heart stops) and have been brought back to life. The information may help doctors improve care and recovery after this event.
