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.

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT07363772Recruiting

São Paulo, São PauloAges 22 years+ - NCT07390903Recruiting
Heart function test for difficult bypass weaning
This trial studies whether a heart ultrasound test called GLS can help predict complications when patients are taken off the heart-lung machine after heart surgery. It aims to improve management for better outcomes.
RomeAges 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 - NCT07529145Recruiting
Heart and Lung Fitness Testing During Lung Cancer Treatment
This study measures how well your heart and lungs work before and during lung cancer treatment using an exercise test. The goal is to understand how cancer treatment affects your physical fitness and help doctors better monitor your health.
Bialystok, Podlaskie VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07591987Recruiting
Breathing Techniques to Reduce Shortness of Breath After Heart Surgery
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help reduce shortness of breath and improve heart and lung function in patients recovering from open-heart surgery. You would learn and practice these breathing techniques before and after your surgery.
Baghdad, Baghdad GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07632131Recruiting
Storytelling therapy to prevent PTSD after heart surgery
This study tests whether a special therapy called narrative exposure—where you talk through your surgery experience with a trained counselor—can help prevent PTSD (post-traumatic stress) in people recovering from heart surgery in the ICU. The goal is to help you process what happened so you feel less distressed afterward.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07549243Enrolling by invitation
Ear Nerve Stimulation to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to your ear can help protect your kidneys during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. Kidney damage after this type of surgery is common, and researchers want to see if this non-invasive stimulation can prevent it.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 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+ - NCT05101746Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Nitric oxide to protect brain and kidneys in babies during heart surgery
This trial studies whether giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass surgery can help protect a baby’s brain and kidneys. If you qualify, the study team will check outcomes after surgery to see if benefits happen compared with usual care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges birth–1 year - NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07264179Recruiting
Tracheal cuff pressure and complications after surgery
This study will check if keeping the tube in your windpipe at a certain pressure during surgery can help prevent problems like hoarseness or a sore throat after your procedure.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande Do Sul (RS)Ages 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiopulmonary?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 165 recruiting cardiopulmonary 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 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 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.
