Study Comparing Early Brain Damage Scores in Adults Admitted to ICU After Cardiac Arrest

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying adults who have experienced cardiac arrest and are admitted to intensive care while comatose. The study focuses on comparing different early brain damage scoring systems to identify which best predicts patient outcomes. This research aims to help doctors decide the best post-resuscitation treatments and provide accurate information to families. The sponsor of the study is AfterROSC. The study observes patients without assigning treatments. At intensive care unit admission, usually about 3 hours after cardiac arrest, researchers calculate early prognosis scores based on clinical and biological data. This scoring is done for all eligible patients without altering their care. The main focus is to evaluate the performance of the Cerebral Admission Hospital Prognosis CAHP score. Participants will be monitored starting from intensive care admission, with data collected on their condition and brain damage scores. Researchers use these scores to assess outcomes and compare scoring systems. The study does not specify treatment changes, focusing instead on diagnostic evaluation and prognosis. Participation involves no additional interventions beyond standard care and clinical data collection.
