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 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 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.
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 study tests a special way to cool the lungs quickly after a cardiac arrest, using a liquid ventilation method. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and other organs after the heart is restarted.
This study tests whether using body cooling for different lengths of time helps children recover better after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It focuses on children who remain very unresponsive after resuscitation and need a breathing tube and steady temperature control.
