Could a simple headband predict brain damage after cardiac arrest?
NCT ID NCT06072092
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a forehead EEG monitor (BIS) can be used during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to track brain activity. Researchers will check if the device works in the ambulance and emergency room, and whether its readings help predict brain injury. The study involves 45 adults and is purely observational — the monitor's data is hidden from the care team.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple EEG monitoring during cardiac arrest helps doctors predict brain damage earlier and improve care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 45 people. It is not designed to prove that the monitor improves survival or brain outcomes.
