First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 250 adults who are unconscious after a cardiac arrest to see if early brain tests can predict when they will wake up. Researchers use tools like EEG and ultrasound to monitor the brain. The goal is to find reliable signs of recovery, not to test a new treatment.
