This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is an extended follow-up study for people who have survived out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and were treated in a larger research trial called STEPCARE. The study will check how well your brain is working at 6 and 12 months after your cardiac arrest, and it will also ask your main family caregiver about how they are managing with the stress of caring for you.
After surviving cardiac arrest, some people experience problems with thinking, memory, or learning—even after their heart recovers. This trial wants to understand these brain-related recovery challenges and how they affect families, so doctors can better support survivors and their caregivers in the months after discharge from the hospital.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you and your nominated caregiver will be asked to complete follow-up visits or assessments at 6 months and 12 months after your cardiac arrest. During these visits, you may complete tests of thinking and memory, and your caregiver will be asked about their own wellbeing and the challenges of supporting you. The exact tests and how you complete them (in person or by phone) will depend on your hospital location.
