ICECAP: Influence of Cooling Duration on Efficacy in Cardiac Arrest Patients

A multicenter, randomized, adaptive allocation clinical trial to determine if increasing durations of induced hypothermia are associated with an increasing rate of good neurological outcomes and to identify the optimal duration of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest.

POST-ICECAP: Patterns Of Survivors’ Recovery Trajectories in the ICECAP trial

POST-ICECAP is an ancillary study to the NINDS›NHLBI funded ‘Influence of Cooling Duration on Efficacy in Cardiac Arrest Patients’ trial, conducted within the NIH Strategies to Innovate Emergency Care Clinical Trials Network. POST-ICECAP will describe the extent of improvement or deterioration in functional, cognitive, and health related quality of life outcomes within Âà months after an out of hospital cardiac arrest ¥OHCA¦. It will estimate the prospective associations of clinical interventions, rehabilitation, and social determinants with those dimensions of recovery in a large, well characterized, racially ethnically diverse, US representative cohort of OHCA patients.

BOOST3

BOOST3 is a randomized clinical trial that compares two strategies for monitoring and treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients in the ICU. One strategy uses both intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) as treatment guides, while the other relies on ICP alone. Both strategies are part of standard care, but it is unclear if one is more effective. The trial will evaluate whether one method provides safer and more effective treatment by adjusting medications, fluids, ventilator settings, blood transfusions, and other medical care.
