Protecting the brain after cardiac arrest coma

This trial studies a “care bundle” approach using special devices to improve care after an out-of-hospital or witnessed cardiac arrest. It may help by standardizing emergency treatment for people right after their heart stops.

This study is trying to find better ways to predict recovery in people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors give more accurate information to families.

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 looks at how the brain and heart interact after a cardiac arrest that leaves someone unconscious. It aims to understand these connections better, which could help improve care for future patients.

This trial uses a special brain scan (PET-CT) to see how the brain is affected after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better understand damage and recovery in people who remain unconscious.

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.
