Colon ischemia after cardiac arrest study
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a cardiac arrest (heart stopped) either in the hospital or outside the hospital
- Resuscitation (CPR) lasted longer than 5 minutes
- You are not fully awake and alert after the cardiac arrest

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special CT scan of the heart can help doctors see blockages in people who survived a cardiac arrest but did not have a typical heart attack. If you qualify, the CT scan might provide important information without needing a standard heart catheterization first.
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 uses two types of MRI machines to see how the brain changes when someone is in a coma after cardiac arrest. It aims to better understand recovery and may help guide future care.
This trial tests whether a special CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help rule out coronary artery disease—the common artery blockage causing heart problems—after someone has survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help doctors quickly decide who needs or does not need further heart procedures.
This study looks at how the timing of a CT scan and the care you receive after the heart restart affects short-term outcomes in people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may help doctors learn the best way to treat patients like you.
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.
