Long Term Follow-up of Cardiac Arrest Survivors Exposed to Ultra-rapid Cooling
Less than 10% of patients eliciting out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survive, although 30% can be resuscitated by Emergency services before admission in Intensive Care Units (ICU). The majority succumb to Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS). PCAS is associated with high mortality (60-70%) and morbidity. One proposed method of preventing the neurological …
New Tools and Predictive Markers in the Prognosis of Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy Following Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac arrest (CA) remains a major cause of mortality and long-term neurological disability worldwide. Despite advances in resuscitation, many survivors suffer from post-cardiac syndrome encompassing PCAS brain injury (PCABI), due to primary (ischemic) and secondary (reperfusion) injury, myocardial dysfunction, systemic response, and persistent underlying causes. PCABI plays a critical role …
fMRI in CardiaC arrEst With Uncertain Prognosis
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether specific advanced MRI measures are associated with functional outcomes in patients who are comatose after cardiac arrest. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Aim 1: Determine if stimulus-based functional MRI (fMRI)-measured activations are independently associated with favorable neurological …
Adapted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Study
The goal of this controlled single centre RCT is to compare frequency rates concerning return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in prehospital cardiac arrest. Two different algorithms (control-and interventiongroup) of advanced cardiac life support will be used to treat patients. In patients over 18 years suffering from cardiac arrest. The main …
In-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation With Balloon Occlusion of the Descending Aorta
This study will test if a sustained Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) in patients with cardiac arrest is more frequent when patients receive advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) alone or when they receive ACLS plus a balloon occlusion of the thoracic aorta.
Hand Position, CPR Quality and Rescuer Comfort
This randomized crossover simulation study will compare two hand positions used during chest compressions: interlocked fingers and non-interlocked hands placed one on top of the other. The study will evaluate whether the non-interlocked hand position is non-inferior to the interlocked-finger technique with regard to chest compression depth, and will compare …
Clinical Study of Endocardial Myocardial Biopsy
In this study, patients with endocardial myocardial biopsy were selected to observe the safety of the operation, and pathological examination was performed. If necessary, special tests such as viral examination, mass spectrometry and molecular biology were performed to confirm the diagnosis, and follow-up was performed.
Effect of Resistance Training in Patients on the Waiting List for Heart Transplant
The present longitudinal, randomized, and blinded clinical trial aims to: Evaluate the effects of resistance training on the functional capacity, quality of life, and cardiac biomarkers of hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) on the waiting list for heart transplantation (HTx). Evaluate the associations between Fried's frailty classification and functional …
Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing or Biventricular Pacing in AF and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
It is unknown whether left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) or biventricular pacing best prevents or reverses left ventricular (LV) adverse remodelling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who require ventricular pacing or CRT. This randomized non-inferiority cross-over trial will compare left ventricular end-systolic volume change and secondary endpoints between …
XVIVO Heart Box (XHB) With Supplemented XVIVO Heart Solution (SXHS) Continued Access Protocol (CAP)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) of extended criteria donor hearts using the XVIVO Heart Preservation System (XHPS) is a safe and effective way to preserve and transport hearts for transplantation.
