Early wake-up predictors after cardiac arrest
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital that was likely caused by a heart problem
- Your heartbeat returned and stayed steady for at least 20 minutes without needing chest compressions or a heart pump
- You are still unconscious after your heartbeat returned (cannot follow simple commands)
- You are not pregnant, do not have active bleeding in the brain, a recent stroke, or certain other medical conditions

This study is testing new tools and markers to better predict recovery after cardiac arrest when brain injury may occur. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated at Saint-Luc hospital.
This trial studies how to predict brain recovery early after a non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The goal is to help clinicians estimate outcome sooner, which may improve decision-making during intensive care.
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
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 Phase 3 trial studies treatments given after a person survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to improve recovery and survival. It is for patients who stay unconscious for a short time after circulation returns, and who meet safety conditions.
This study looks at tests that may help predict outcomes in people who remain in a coma 3 to 7 days after surviving a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better estimate recovery and guide care decisions.
