Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 3–60 - NCT07584187Recruiting
Brain monitoring during emergency heart-lung support treatment
This study uses special monitoring devices to measure brain activity in patients receiving emergency mechanical heart-lung support (ECMO). The goal is to help doctors quickly predict which patients might recover neurologically and guide early treatment decisions.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07431710Recruiting
AI-guided chest compressions for cardiac arrest in the ER
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors give better chest compressions during CPR for adults whose hearts stopped outside the hospital. The goal is to improve blood flow and outcomes without using special equipment in the ambulance.
New Taipei City, BanqiaoAges 20 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+ - NCT07434726Recruiting
Balloon in aorta to improve CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial tests if placing a balloon in the main artery (aorta) during CPR can improve blood flow to the heart and brain. It is for adults who have a cardiac arrest while already in the hospital and have a pulse-check showing some heart activity.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07331831Enrolling by invitation
CPR and AED skills after a training course
This study looks at how confident and skilled people are in performing CPR and using an AED after taking a standard training course. It aims to find out if the course helps people feel ready to act in an emergency.
Sofia, SofiaAges 12 years+ - NCT05482945RecruitingPhase 2
Argon treatment for certain out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients
This Phase 2 trial tests whether breathing “argon” through a breathing device, started soon after successful CPR, can improve recovery in adults who had a witnessed, shockable cardiac arrest. It is for ICU patients who were unconscious right after return of heartbeat and meet specific timing and oxygen level requirements.
Genova, GEAges 18 years+ - NCT07754656Recruiting
Adapted CPR study for cardiac arrest
This study tests a different way of doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when someone's heart stops. It aims to see if this adapted approach can improve outcomes for patients.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04446585Recruiting
Study of early help for witnessed home cardiac arrests
