Trial summary

Cardiac arrest is a major public health problem, with 700 000 cases per year , and a survival ranging from 4 to 33%. The post- anoxic encephalopathy remains the most serious complication with only a third of survivors . It is due to a series of phenomena involving microcirculation disorders .

About this study

Official title: Evaluation de l'oxymétrie cérébrale à Deux Niveaux d'Hypothermie thérapeutique après arrêt Cardiaque Extra-hospitalier

Cardiac arrest is a major public health problem, with 700 000 cases per year , and a survival ranging from 4 to 33%. The post- anoxic encephalopathy remains the most serious complication with only a third of survivors . It is due to a series of phenomena involving microcirculation disorders . Cerebral oximetry is a new technique to evaluate the microcirculatory status . To this day it is used in cardiovascular surgery at risk of cerebral hypoperfusion where desaturation of cerebral oximetry is synonymous with ischemia and microcirculatory disorders. Therapeutic hypothermia is the only treatment improves the outcome of patients after extra- hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation . Its mechanisms of action seem to change all the phenomena responsible for microcirculatory reperfusion disorders . Currently it is recommended to practice hypothermia between 32 and 34 ° C. However, a recent study suggests a superiority of hypothermia at 32 ° C rather than 34 ° C.

The hypothesis of this study is that cerebral oximetry value will be different in patients subjected to two different levels of therapeutic hypothermia in the aftermath of an extra- hospital cardiac arrest. These data allow a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the benefit of this technique.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mesure of cerebral oximetry

    During the first 48 hours of hospitalization, we will collect the cerebral oximetry values in the two cerebral hemispheres.

    Measured: 8 times during the first 48 hours of hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The cerebral oximetry values (average of the two hemispheres) will be compared between patients with good and poor neurological outcome.

    The cerebral oximetry values (average of the two hemispheres) will be compared between patients with good and poor neurological outcome.

    Measured: 8 times during the first 48 hours of hospitalization

  2. For each level of therapeutic hypothermia the cerebral oximetry values will be compared between patients with good and poor becoming

    For each level of therapeutic hypothermia (32 or 34 ° C), the cerebral oximetry values (average of the two hemispheres) will be compared between patients with good and poor becoming according to the CPC score (CPC = 1 become good score - 2 and bad become CPC = 3-5).

    Measured: baseline, when target temperature is reached, 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, when 37°C is reached

  3. Outcome of patients

    The outcome of patients (score 1-2 vs. CPC. 3-5 CPC) will be compared with the level of hypothermia (32 or 34 ° C)

    Measured: 6 months after hospitalization

  4. Mesure of lactate

    Lactate will be compared between patients with good (CPC 1-2) and poor (CPC 3-5) become throughout the study population

    Measured: 4 times during the first 48 hours of hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing therapeutic hypothermia at 32 ° C and therapeutic hypothermia at 34 ° C in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 2 sites in France.

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 2 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 22 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mesure of cerebral oximetry (time frame: 8 times during the first 48 hours of hospitalization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Mar 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
