Stress and Cortisol in Cardiac Arrest

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 study looks at people who had a heart attack or cardiac arrest to find out which dangerous heart rhythms can happen afterward. The goal is to improve care and prevent future problems.

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 study looks at whether patients who have a cardiac arrest and are resuscitated may develop damage to their colon (part of the large intestine). The goal is to understand how common this is and to help improve care for patients after resuscitation.

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.
