Long-term follow-up of cardiac arrest survivors who had ultra-rapid cooling
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have survived a cardiac arrest and taken part in the earlier OverCool study.
- You must be alive 28 days after the cardiac arrest in that study.
- You or a trusted person, close relative, or parent must agree to join this follow-up within 3 months after the OverCool study ended.
- You must have actually received the cooling treatment (Vent2Cool) in the OverCool study.

This study tests combining two treatments—therapeutic hypothermia (cooling the body) and a medication to prevent seizures—for people who survive cardiac arrest but remain unconscious in the ICU. The goal is to see if this combination helps improve recovery and reduce brain damage.
This study looks at whether cooling the body after a cardiac arrest (called target temperature management) affects the bacteria in the gut. It will help doctors understand how temperature control might help recovery.
This trial tests different ways to care for people after a cardiac arrest, focusing on head position and body temperature. It aims to see if these methods help improve recovery and survival.
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.
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 tests a new way to cool the body quickly after a cardiac arrest using a special liquid that is breathed into the lungs. The goal is to protect the brain and improve recovery.
