This trial studies a rehabilitation program for adults who survived a first out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery after leaving the hospital by using guided follow-up and surveys to see how people are doing over time.
This trial tests different ways of using defibrillators to restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital. It compares two defibrillator machines used together to see if one approach works better for shockable heart rhythms.
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 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.
This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
This trial tests a new approach to care for people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and have been revived by emergency services. The goal is to see if a structured treatment plan can prevent another arrest before reaching the hospital.
