Recovery after cardiac arrest
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial collects health information from people who have survived a cardiac arrest (when the heart stops) and have been brought back to life. The information may help doctors improve care and recovery after this event.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a cardiac arrest and your heart restarted (return of spontaneous circulation).
- You have a working IV line (a tube into a vein) or an intraosseous line (a tube into a bone) for giving fluids or medicine.
- You are experiencing ongoing problems after your heart restarted, such as brain injury, heart problems, or damage from blood flow returning to tissues.
- You and your doctor chose to try cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to restart your heart.

This study looks at a “whole-person” support plan for people who survived a non-traumatic cardiac arrest. It aims to improve the survivor’s health and also help support family members as they recover.
This Phase 3 trial studies treatments given after a person survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to improve recovery and survival. It is for patients who stay unconscious for a short time after circulation returns, and who meet safety conditions.
This trial tests two treatments for people who are unconscious after their heart stops: a specific head position and a way to control body temperature. The goal is to see if these treatments help improve recovery.
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.
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 trial tests a new approach to care for people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and have been revived by emergency services. The goal is to see if a structured treatment plan can prevent another arrest before reaching the hospital.
