Predicting brain recovery after cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your cardiac arrest happened outside of a hospital (OHCA).
- You are receiving routine care at Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc.
- You were not transferred from another hospital for this treatment.
- You do not have a pre-existing neurological disease (like a brain injury, stroke, or dementia).

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 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 uses a special light-based device to measure brain oxygen levels and blood flow in patients recovering from cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if this monitoring can help doctors better predict patient outcomes.
This trial is looking at the spinal fluid of people who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated for brain injury. The goal is to learn more about brain damage and find new ways to help patients recover.
This study looks at how to predict brain recovery after certain types of cardiac arrest. It aims to improve decision-making so people are not misjudged due to “self-fulfilling prophecy.”
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.
