Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT07002294Recruiting
Specialist care after cardiac arrest recovery trial
This trial tests whether care from a specialist team helps people recover better after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you were revived and brought to the emergency department with a pulse, you might be eligible.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03261089Recruiting
Predicting brain outcome after cardiac arrest, reducing bias
This study looks at how to predict brain recovery after certain types of cardiac arrest. It aims to improve decision-making so people are not misjudged due to “self-fulfilling prophecy.”
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT06511999Recruiting
Measuring brain oxygen after cardiac arrest
This study tests a special sensor placed in a neck vein to continuously measure oxygen levels in the blood returning from the brain after cardiac arrest. The goal is to help doctors better understand and protect brain function during recovery in the ICU.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07114510Recruiting
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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 2 days–17 years - NCT02708134Recruiting
Study of CPR quality in children and young adults
This trial looks at how well CPR (chest compressions) is done during an emergency resuscitation in children and young adults. The goal is to understand what helps improve care during life-saving resuscitation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–18 years - NCT07707037Recruiting
Helping parents cope after a child's cardiac arrest
This study tests if providing clearer information to parents after their child's cardiac arrest can reduce fear and anxiety. It is for parents of children under 17.5 years old who are expected to leave the hospital soon.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–17 years - NCT04840797Recruiting
Registry for HeartStart HS1 use during suspected cardiac arrest
This study collects real-world information about people who had a suspected cardiac arrest and where the HeartStart HS1 defibrillator was used with specific Philips pad types. It may help improve how emergency teams respond in the future.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04250857Recruiting
HeartStart AED event registry for suspected sudden cardiac arrest
This study records information about people who were suspected of having a sudden heart stoppage. It may help improve how emergency responders use this specific AED (automated defibrillator).

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.

Common questions
- Are there cardiac arrest clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting cardiac arrest studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cardiac arrest study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiac arrest trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
