NCT ID NCT07002294
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether moving cardiac arrest survivors to a specialized hospital improves their recovery. About 1,600 adults who were revived after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest will be randomly assigned to either stay at the nearest hospital or be transferred to a specialty center. Researchers will check their functional recovery after 90 days.
