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 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 whether people who have had a cardiac arrest later develop reduced blood flow to the colon. It aims to understand how common this problem is and who might be at risk.
This study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around the brain and in the blood after a cardiac arrest. These proteins may help doctors predict how the patient will recover, which could guide their care.
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 looks at how your body's immune system, hormones, and inflammation affect recovery after a heart attack or unstable angina. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for people with acute coronary syndrome.
