Southampton, EnglandAges 18–120 - NCT06789978Recruiting
Quick ECPR for cardiac arrest in Prague
This study tests a rapid way to give life support using a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR) to people experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest that doesn't stop with defibrillators or standard CPR. The goal is to start this treatment within 20 minutes of the emergency call, which may improve chances of survival.
Prague, CzechiaAges 18–70 - NCT05868239Recruiting
Testing an aerosol box during CPR emergencies
This study tests whether using an aerosol “box” during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during an emergency improves safety and care. It’s mainly aimed at trained healthcare staff who can perform required tasks during CPR.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT07775976Enrolling by invitation
Whole-heart checkup with a wearable heart monitor
This study looks at how well a wearable heart monitor and special software can check the health of your whole heart and assess your risk of future heart problems. It may help doctors create more personalized care plans.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT02884271Recruiting
Study CPR during surgery when the heart stops
This trial looks at cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provided right in the operating room when a patient’s heart stops. It may help improve how emergency care is delivered during surgery.
IzmirAges Any age - NCT07329842Recruiting
Bed height and CPR quality in pediatric simulation
This trial tests how the height of a hospital bed affects chest compression quality and the physical strain on doctors during CPR on a child-sized manikin. It may help find the optimal bed height to improve CPR effectiveness.
Antalya, AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07421882Recruiting
Cooling after cardiac arrest to improve brain recovery
This trial tests if starting body cooling before reaching the hospital can help protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for adults who are unconscious after their heartbeat has been restored by emergency services.
SingaporeAges 16–80 - NCT07155772Recruiting
ECPR before hospital for cardiac arrest in Pavia
This trial tests if a special heart-lung machine (ECPR) can be started before reaching the hospital after a cardiac arrest. It is for people whose heart does not restart after standard CPR and who meet specific conditions.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–70 - NCT05321459Recruiting
Testing outcome prediction in comatose patients after cardiac arrest
This study looks at tests that may help predict outcomes in people who remain in a coma 3 to 7 days after surviving a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better estimate recovery and guide care decisions.
BobignyAges 18 years+ - NCT06031623Recruiting
Using REBOA for non-traumatic cardiac arrest outside hospital
This study tests if a temporary balloon placed in the aorta, called REBOA, can improve blood flow to the heart and brain during CPR for people whose hearts stop due to a non-traumatic cause. It is for adults who have a witnessed cardiac arrest and arrive at the hospital during daytime hours.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20–80 - NCT06441760Recruiting
Telemedicine support for paramedics in children's emergencies
This study tests whether paramedics and emergency doctors can use a special video or phone link to improve care for children in emergencies. It compares the usual way doctors give advice to paramedics with a new telemedicine method.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06397417Recruiting
ECMO for refractory cardiac arrest
This study looks at a treatment called ECMO, a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs, to help people whose heart has stopped and does not restart with standard CPR. Researchers want to learn if placing ECMO at the scene can improve survival.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07431710Recruiting
AI-guided chest compressions for cardiac arrest in the ER
