Colon damage after heart resuscitation
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a cardiac arrest (your heart stopped) either in the hospital or outside the hospital.
- You were resuscitated (CPR) for more than 5 minutes.
- You are not fully awake and able to talk normally after the resuscitation.

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 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 tests whether care from a specialist team helps people recover better after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you were revived and brought to the emergency department with a pulse, you might be eligible.
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 how first responder help affects survival after a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. It might help improve emergency response in your region.
This study uses a portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in people who remain unconscious after their heartbeat is restored (ROSC) from a cardiac arrest. If you are having a standard MRI and being treated with temperature control, you may be eligible.
