Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT07239908RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Improving care after cardiac arrest to prevent another arrest
This trial tests a new approach to care for people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and have been revived by emergency services. The goal is to see if a structured treatment plan can prevent another arrest before reaching the hospital.
Bangkok Noi, BangkokAges 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.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 18 years+ - NCT06938009Recruiting
Dutch registry of child cardiac arrest
This trial is a registry study that records information about children under 18 who have had a cardiac arrest in the Netherlands. It aims to collect data to better understand and improve care for children in this situation.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 1 day–18 years - NCT07143357Recruiting
Recovering together: support for cardiac arrest survivors and caregivers
This study tests a mind-body program to help cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers cope with emotional distress after the event. It combines in-person and video sessions to improve well-being together.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07114510Recruiting
Best breathing methods during cardiac arrest
This trial compares different ways to give breaths using a breathing tube during CPR to find the best approach for people having a cardiac arrest in the hospital.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 9 months–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 - NCT06781892Recruiting
Defibrillation strategies for cardiac arrest outside the hospital
This trial tests different ways of using defibrillators to restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital. It compares two defibrillator machines used together to see if one approach works better for shockable heart rhythms.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07041086Recruiting
Prehospital ECMO for cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to people in cardiac arrest before they reach the hospital can improve survival. It might be an option if you had a witnessed heart attack and received CPR quickly.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18–70 - NCT07026773Recruiting
How ICU doctors judge CPR appropriateness
This study looks at how well ICU doctors and nurses judge whether CPR (a procedure to restart the heart) is appropriate for patients. It's for healthcare workers already involved in the STEPCARE study.
InnsbruckAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06992843Recruiting
Protecting the brain after cardiac arrest coma
This trial tests a set of treatments designed to protect the brain in people who remain unconscious after their heart restarts following a cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery by preventing further brain injury.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT06979700Recruiting
Early wake-up predictors after cardiac arrest
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
Aarhus NAges 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+ - NCT06939335RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a breathing method during CPR after cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether a specific breathing technique (PEEP) during CPR helps improve outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated by emergency medical teams.
Ostend, West-FlandresAges 18 years+ - NCT06844851Recruiting
Genetic causes of cardiac arrest in young adults
This study looks at the genetic causes of cardiac arrest that happens outside the hospital in younger people. If you or a family member had a cardiac arrest before age 50 in Lombardy, Italy, researchers may test your DNA to find inherited risks that could affect other family members.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–50 - NCT06835491RecruitingPhase 3
Amiodarone to prevent heart rhythm problems after cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving the drug amiodarone early can prevent dangerous heart rhythm problems in patients who survived a cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm. If it works, it could help more people recover.
AmiensAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06680869RecruitingPhase 3
Early amiodarone for shockable cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving the heart rhythm medicine amiodarone early after a shockable cardiac arrest improves survival. If you had a cardiac arrest due to a heart rhythm problem that didn't stop after the first shock, this study may be for you.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06672159Recruiting
Double shock for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial tests a new way of giving two quick shocks to restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you had a shockable heart rhythm, this approach might help improve your chances of survival.
TrondheimAges 18 years+ - NCT06567912Recruiting
TEE training with AI assessment for emergency doctors
This study is creating a training program and an AI-powered tool to help emergency physicians learn how to use TEE, a type of ultrasound that looks at the heart. It's for doctors who want to improve their skills in this area.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 81 recruiting out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 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 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 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 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 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.
