POST-ICECAP
- Study HIC#:2000037534
- Last Updated:01/02/2026
This study is about learning how people recover after surviving a cardiac arrest, both physically and mentally. People who join the study will meet with the research team by phone or in person at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. During these visits, they will answer questions and complete simple puzzles. By checking in at different times, we hope to understand who may need more support and help patients and families know what to expect during recovery.

Trial Purpose and Description
POST-ICECAP is an ancillary study to the NHLBI and NINDS-funded ICECAP trial. The goal of POST-ICECAP is to describe recovery in a large, well-characterized, racially/ethnically diverse, representative cohort of US out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. We will enroll 1000 patients who were screened for ICECAP and survived to 1 month. The parent ICECAP trial (HIC2000028905) includes a telephone follow-up visit at 1 month and an in-person visit at 3 months. The ancillary study will add two telephone/videoconferencing visits at 6 and 9 months and an in-person visit at 12 months after OHCA.
Eligibility Criteria
Adults ages 18 and older who speak English or Spanish and have survived a cardiac arrest can take part in this study.
