New study aims to stop early life support withdrawal in cardiac arrest patients
NCT ID NCT03261089
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a better way to predict recovery in people who remain unconscious after a cardiac arrest. Doctors often struggle to know who will wake up, which can lead to early decisions to stop life support. The study will follow 600 patients in the US, Brazil, and Italy, using multiple tests at set times to improve accuracy and give families more time for recovery.
