Measuring brain oxygen after cardiac arrest
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in the brain during recovery from cardiac arrest. It aims to see if monitoring brain oxygen helps doctors make better treatment decisions after the heart restarts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a cardiac arrest, in or out of the hospital, that lasted at least 5 minutes.
- You are unconscious or barely responsive after the arrest.
- You can be enrolled within 6 hours of the arrest.
- Your cardiac arrest was not caused by a brain injury.

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.
This study tests a special sensor placed in a neck vein to continuously measure oxygen levels in the blood returning from the brain after cardiac arrest. The goal is to help doctors better understand and protect brain function during recovery in the ICU.
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 study tests whether a special head sensor can measure brain oxygen levels in people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The goal is to see if this measurement can help predict how well the brain will recover.
This study tests a way to monitor blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest that was not caused by trauma. It aims to help doctors find the best blood pressure to support brain recovery in the ICU.
This trial tests a targeted approach to manage oxygen levels in the brain for patients who received ECMO (a machine that does the heart and lung work) after a cardiac arrest that did not respond to standard CPR. The goal is to improve brain recovery and outcomes.
