New study reveals clues to survival after cardiac arrest
NCT ID NCT07020091
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at the medical records of 168 adults who survived a cardiac arrest and were treated in the intensive care unit. Researchers wanted to find early signs that could predict which patients were more likely to die within 30 days or six months. By analyzing lab results and other data from the first 24 hours, they hope to help doctors identify high-risk patients sooner and improve care.
