Monitoring and optimizing brain blood flow in patients after cardiac arrest

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to establish a process for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in patients who have experienced cardiac arrest. It will analyze the correlation between direct and non-invasive ICP monitoring indicators and develop protocols for managing elevated ICP and insufficient CPP. The study will also focus on personalizing CPP and mean arterial pressure (MAP) optimization to improve neuroprognosis in these patients. Participants will receive ICP monitoring within 12 hours after regaining spontaneous circulation if they meet the inclusion criteria.
