About this study

Official title: Cerebral Metabolism During Therapeutic Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest

The purpose of this study is to understand what happens to cerebral metabolism during therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic brain injury following cardiac arrest.

Read the detailed description

Latest international guidelines recommend the use of therapeutic hypothermia in patients who have had cardiac arrest and remain in coma after return of spontaneous circulation. This is recommended essentially to limit the cerebral injury caused by cardiac arrest and possibly amplified upon reperfusion. At times, although a spontaneous circulation has returned, cerebral oxygenation may remain inadequate due to inadequate perfusion pressure, and hypothermia, by reducing cardiac output and cerebral blood flow could actually aggravate this phenomenon. The rewarming period is thought to be at greatest risk of inadequate oxygenation for the increase in metabolic demand. With this study we aim to understand what happens to cerebral oxygenation and metabolism during therapeutic hypothermia for cardiac arrest through cerebrovenous oxygen saturation monitoring and in particular, to see whether through this type of monitoring we could recognize otherwise unnoticed periods of inadequate cerebral oxygenation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoxic Brain Injury and Hypothermia, run by Policlinico Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00870610, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2015.
