Brain oxygen monitoring after cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to the intensive care unit after a cardiac arrest that was not caused by an injury.
- You are unable to follow spoken instructions, such as 'wiggle your toes' or 'squeeze my hand.'
- You are not pregnant.
- You did not have significant memory or thinking problems before the cardiac arrest.
- You do not have severe peripheral artery disease or Raynaud's syndrome, which affect blood flow in the arms or legs.

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.
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 uses special MRI scans to look at brain changes in people who are in a coma after a cardiac arrest, and compares them to scans from healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how the brain is affected and potentially help improve care for coma patients.
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 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 looks at how oxygen is given to adults after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It aims to find the best way to use oxygen to improve outcomes.
