Recruiting studies
- NCT07292532Recruiting
Teaching CPR in Schools: the RCP-KNOW Project
This study tests a new way to teach schoolchildren how to perform CPR (a life-saving technique for when someone stops breathing or their heart stops). It aims to find the best approach to teach these skills in schools.
Cuenca, CuencaAges 5–13 - 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 - NCT07363772Recruiting
Mixed reality CPR training for adults
This trial tests whether mixed reality (a blend of real and virtual worlds) can teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to adults. It may help people who haven't taken a CPR class in the last year learn this lifesaving skill in a new way.
Seoul, Nowon-guAges 18–50 - NCT07778823Recruiting
Augmented reality support for CPR in children
This study tests whether augmented reality (a headset that projects images) can guide nurses and technicians during CPR on children. You may be asked to perform chest compressions while using this technology to see if it helps improve performance.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 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 - 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 - NCT06976463Recruiting
Parent knowledge of infant choking and CPR
This study tests whether a training program improves parents' ability to help a choking infant or perform CPR. It may be a good fit if you are willing to learn first aid for your baby.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06275984Enrolling by invitation
Online CPR training for volunteers in Camp de Tarragona
This trial tests an online training program to teach everyday people how to perform CPR. It wants to see if a network of volunteers can be trained effectively through the internet, so you can help save lives in your community.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07323667Enrolling by invitation
Study of a first responder system for cardiac arrest in Zug
This trial is studying a new system where trained volunteers respond quickly to help people whose heart stops outside of a hospital in Zug, Switzerland. The goal is to see if this system improves survival and recovery.
Zug, Canton of ZugAges 18 years+ - NCT07009652Recruiting
Optimizing mobile ECMO for sudden cardiac arrest patients
This trial tests a better way to get a mobile team that can start ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to people who have a sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The goal is to see if this approach can help save more lives in certain regions.
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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04446585Recruiting
Study of early help for witnessed home cardiac arrests
This study looks at witnessed sudden cardiac arrest happening in residential areas, and tests whether a new first-responder approach gets help to people faster. It may help improve outcomes after cardiac arrest by improving the timing and coordination of emergency response.
Ballerup Municipality, The Capital RegionAges 8 years+ - NCT07783932Recruiting
Comparing refresher methods for CPR knowledge after training
This study compares two ways of refreshing CPR knowledge after initial training: one using a large language model and the other using videos. It aims to see which method helps healthcare professionals remember CPR skills better over time.
Seoul, SeoulAges Any age - 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+ - NCT05917717Recruiting
Test a care bundle for adults after witnessed cardiac arrest
This trial studies a “care bundle” approach using special devices to improve care after an out-of-hospital or witnessed cardiac arrest. It may help by standardizing emergency treatment for people right after their heart stops.
Southampton, EnglandAges 18–120 - NCT06552299Recruiting
Testing how well people measure CPR depth and length
This study compares how accurately laypeople and healthcare providers estimate the depth and length of CPR chest compressions. It helps researchers understand if training or experience affects measurement accuracy.
SeoulAges 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 - 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+ - NCT07113769Recruiting
Biomarkers and platelets in CPR patients
This trial is studying the blood biomarkers and platelet characteristics in patients who receive CPR and are then placed on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR). It aims to understand how these biological markers relate to patient outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 31 recruiting cardiopulmonary resuscitation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiopulmonary resuscitation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
