Test hydrogen gas for children needing emergency heart resuscitation
This early safety study tests whether “hydrogen” can be given to children during emergency heart resuscitation that isn’t improving with standard efforts. It’s meant to see if the treatment is safe and feasible for a very specific, life-threatening situation.

Brain MRI for cardiac arrest survivors with uncertain recovery
This study uses a special brain MRI scan to help predict recovery in people who survive a cardiac arrest but remain unconscious. It aims to give doctors and families a clearer picture of brain function when the outlook is uncertain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02708134Recruiting

Best breathing methods during cardiac arrest
This trial compares different ways to give breaths using a breathing tube during CPR to find the best approach for people having a cardiac arrest in the hospital.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 9 months–18 years - NCT05376267Recruiting
Testing how long cooling lasts after pediatric cardiac arrest
This study tests whether using body cooling for different lengths of time helps children recover better after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It focuses on children who remain very unresponsive after resuscitation and need a breathing tube and steady temperature control.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2 days–17 years - NCT07143357Recruiting
Mind-body recovery program for cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers
This trial tests a mind-body program to help cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers recover together after a cardiac arrest. It combines in-person and video sessions to reduce emotional distress and improve wellbeing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05604430Enrolling by invitation
Study of pre-hospital breathing support with a specific ventilator

What taking part in a cardiac arrest study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
