Eye ultrasound may predict brain damage after cardiac arrest
NCT ID NCT04838418
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple, painless eye ultrasound can help doctors predict brain damage and survival in people who have had a cardiac arrest. Researchers will measure the optic nerve sheath diameter in 80 adults and compare it with other tests. The goal is to find a fast, low-cost way to identify patients who may not recover, so treatment decisions can be made more accurately.
