Recruiting studies
- NCT06979700Recruiting
Early wake-up predictors after cardiac arrest
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06939335RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a breathing method during CPR after cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether a specific breathing technique (PEEP) during CPR helps improve outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated by emergency medical teams.
Ostend, West-FlandresAges 18 years+ - NCT06809309Recruiting
Ventilation during in-hospital cardiac arrest study
This trial tests different methods of giving breaths (ventilation) to adults who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital. It aims to find which approach works best to improve survival.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT06804499Recruiting
Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
This study is for people with coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in the heart) who live in the Pirkanmaa area of Finland. It will collect information and blood samples to better understand heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges 18 years+ - NCT06793033Recruiting
A study of the Neurescue device for cardiac arrest
This trial tests an investigational device called Neurescue, used alongside standard CPR and life support to treat adults who have had a witnessed cardiac arrest. It is designed for people whose heart cannot be restarted by a shock and who receive CPR very soon after collapse.
BerlinAges 18–80 - NCT06776549Recruiting
Cooling or normal temperature after cardiac arrest with ECMO
This trial tests if cooling the body (hypothermia) or keeping normal body temperature (normothermia) after emergency heart-lung support (ECMO) improves survival in adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
Kurume, FukuokaAges 18–75 - NCT06538155Recruiting
Using smartwatch data to predict cardiac arrest
This trial uses data from smartwatches and smartphones to better predict and recognize cardiac arrest. If you are a healthy volunteer or have had a heart event, your device data could help improve emergency care.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06672159Recruiting
Double shock for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial tests a new way of giving two quick shocks to restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you had a shockable heart rhythm, this approach might help improve your chances of survival.
TrondheimAges 18 years+ - NCT06680869RecruitingPhase 3
Early amiodarone for shockable cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving the heart rhythm medicine amiodarone early after a shockable cardiac arrest improves survival. If you had a cardiac arrest due to a heart rhythm problem that didn't stop after the first shock, this study may be for you.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06580652Recruiting
Comparing airway devices during in-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial is comparing different ways to manage the airway (how you breathe) during a cardiac arrest that happens inside the hospital. It helps doctors decide which type of breathing device works best in an emergency.
Bath, BanesAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06229418Recruiting
Testing drone delivery of AEDs for rural cardiac arrests
This study is testing whether drones can deliver AEDs (devices that restart a stopped heart) more quickly to people having a cardiac arrest in rural areas. It looks at people whose heart stopped before emergency help arrived and who received a shock from a bystander's AED.
Clemmons, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05606809Recruiting
Score brain injury after cardiac arrest ICU admission
This study compares different scoring methods to estimate early brain injury when people are admitted to the ICU after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors choose the best early assessment approach for patients who are in a coma.
Nantes, Pays de LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT05173740RecruitingPhase 4
Rehab program for people after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial studies a rehabilitation program for adults who survived a first out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery after leaving the hospital by using guided follow-up and surveys to see how people are doing over time.
CopenhagenAges 18–65 - NCT05486884Recruiting
Blood pressure goal after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This study looks at whether targeting a specific blood pressure after a cardiac arrest can improve outcomes. It is mainly for people who are in intensive care and need a breathing machine because they are in a deep coma.
Montpellier, SartheAges 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.”
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT04972526Recruiting
Registry for adult patients who get an ultrasound heart scan in ICU
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information from adult patients who—during routine emergency care in the ICU—receive a focused ultrasound of the heart (a test called TEE). It helps doctors learn how this test is used and what outcomes follow, with no extra treatment required.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03981107Recruiting
Hands-only CPR vs standard CPR after witnessed cardiac arrest
This study compares two ways of doing CPR for adults who collapse outside the hospital and are not breathing normally: hands-only CPR versus standard CPR. The goal is to see which approach improves survival after witnessed cardiac arrest.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT03222999Recruiting
Study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in Korea
This trial is for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital and who received emergency resuscitation, where emergency doctors believed it was caused by a heart problem. The goal is to learn how to better treat or manage this type of cardiac arrest.
SeoulAges Any age - NCT03594318Recruiting
Registry for adults treated in ICU after cardiac arrest
This trial is a registry, which means the researchers collect information about people who were treated in an intensive care unit after a cardiac arrest. It may help improve understanding of outcomes and care, which can guide future treatment.
Le ChesnayAges 18 years+ - NCT06387225Recruiting
Study on brain recovery after cardiac arrest
This study is trying to find better ways to predict recovery in people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors give more accurate information to families.
La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT07240714Enrolling by invitation
Web-based support for cardiac arrest survivors
This study tests a web-based support program for people who have survived a cardiac arrest. It aims to help you with recovery by providing online tools and information.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07034170Enrolling by invitation
Muscle mass and recovery after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how muscle mass affects recovery after a cardiac arrest (when the heart stops). It is for people who stay on a breathing machine in the ICU for more than three days. Researchers will measure muscle to see if it helps predict recovery.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 18–99 - NCT06617377Recruiting
Can MRI predict brain recovery after cardiac arrest?
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to try to predict whether people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest will recover. It is looking for adults who are in a coma and have not woken up after being taken off sedation medicines for at least three days.
