Recruiting studies
- NCT07649616Enrolling by invitation
Training Law Enforcement to Use Heart-Restart Devices
This study helps police officers learn to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs)—machines that can restart a stopped heart during cardiac emergencies. The goal is to increase how often these devices are used and improve survival rates when officers respond to cardiac arrest calls.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04976712Recruiting
Check body temperature in adults after out-of-hospital arrest
This trial measures core body temperature in adults who were taken to the hospital after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It aims to understand temperature patterns during care, which may help guide how patients are treated after the event.
BruneckAges 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 - NCT07002294Recruiting
Specialist care after cardiac arrest recovery trial
This trial tests whether care from a specialist team helps people recover better after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you were revived and brought to the emergency department with a pulse, you might be eligible.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06165081Recruiting
Emergency care after cardiac arrest and short-term outcomes
This study looks at how care in the emergency room after a cardiac arrest affects short-term recovery. It may help doctors find better ways to treat patients whose hearts have stopped outside the hospital.
Hsinchu, Hsinchu CityAges 20 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 - NCT03826524RecruitingPhase 4
Finding the best epinephrine dose after EMS-treated cardiac arrest
This study compares two epinephrine doses during the emergency treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It aims to find a dose that works better and more safely for people who are in a shockable heart rhythm when paramedics arrive.
Victoria, British ColumbiaAges 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
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+ - NCT04576130Recruiting
ICD study after cardiac arrest from an abnormal heart rhythm
This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05376267Recruiting
Testing how long cooling lasts after pediatric cardiac arrest
This study tests whether using body cooling for different lengths of time helps children recover better after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It focuses on children who remain very unresponsive after resuscitation and need a breathing tube and steady temperature control.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 days–17 years - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05132387Recruiting
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry using automatic CPR
This study records information about people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and receive automatic chest compressions. It focuses on specific heart rhythms and emergency timing, which may help improve future emergency treatment.
WroclawAges 18–60 - NCT05142124Recruiting
Registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases
This study collects information about people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital, where it is thought to be from a heart or blood-vessel cause. It helps researchers understand what happens and may improve future care, even though it is mainly about collecting data.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05166343RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a shot of epinephrine during out-of-hospital CPR
This trial studies whether giving a medicine shot (epinephrine) into the muscle helps children who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It’s meant for emergency situations where CPR is started right away by trained responders.
London, OntarioAges 1 day–17 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 - NCT05218278Recruiting
Nerve and brain signals after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This study looks at measurements taken after someone survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to see if the results can predict outcomes. It may help doctors understand which patients are likely to do better and guide care in the ICU.
MariborAges 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+ - 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.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05545176Recruiting
Testing rules for stopping resuscitation after out-of-hospital arrests
This trial studies and checks decision rules doctors can use to decide when to stop CPR in patients who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help make those decisions more consistent and safer across Asian countries.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05588024Recruiting
Device-assisted CPR with head and chest elevation during arrest
This trial studies a CPR method that uses a device to help raise the head and chest during active resuscitation after cardiac arrest. It may help guide whether this technique improves outcomes for people who are not breathing normally and do not have a pulse.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05679739Recruiting
Caring for brain after cardiac arrest
This study tests a treatment approach aimed at protecting the brain and supporting better blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest. It may help some people who are in a coma right after the event recover more safely or with less brain injury.
SingaporeAges 21–79 - NCT05895838RecruitingPhase 3
Trial for medicines after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This Phase 3 trial studies treatments given after a person survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to improve recovery and survival. It is for patients who stay unconscious for a short time after circulation returns, and who meet safety conditions.
Copenhagen, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05914779Recruiting
Early antibiotics after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This study looks at whether starting antibiotics soon after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest helps patients who are unlikely to have an infection. Antibiotics may prevent or treat infection-related complications, but only if certain infection and health conditions are met.
