About this study

Official title: Assessment of Cerebral Microcirculation, Blood-brain Barrier, and Cerebral Oxygenation Damage in Patients with Cardiac Arrest Using Functional MRI

This is a single-center, observational study. Patients after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will be transferred to the emergency intensive care unit for further standardized management. After successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) for 72h and hemodynamics remained stable for 24h, the post-resuscitated patients underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) examination. During the examination, the supervising physician accompanied the patient and monitored the patient's vital signs using a magnetic resonance monitoring system (Siemens Healthcare Prism, Germany). Patients who are on ventilators are mechanically ventilated using a magnetic ventilator (HAMILTON-MRI, USA). In additional to conventional sequences, fMRI is performed for diffusion-prepared pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (DP-pCASL) and blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI). These MRI sequences allow quantitative assessment of the patients' cerebral microcirculation, blood-brain barrier, and cerebral oxygenation status. Patients will be followed up for neurologic prognosis according to the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months after disease onset.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest and Brain Injuries, run by Capital Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 8 Oct 2024. 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 China. 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?

Neurologic prognosis (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05966389, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Oct 2024.
