Recruiting studies
- 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.

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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07143357Recruiting
Mind-body recovery program for cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers
This trial tests a mind-body program to help cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers recover together after a cardiac arrest. It combines in-person and video sessions to reduce emotional distress and improve wellbeing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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+ - NCT07405229RecruitingPhase 4
Medical treatment for idiopathic ventricular fibrillation patients
This study tests medical treatments for people who survived a cardiac arrest with a specific heart rhythm problem called idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. If your cardiac arrest was likely from a heart issue but not from clogged arteries, you might help find better treatments.
Copenhagen, Dr.Ages 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 - 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+ - NCT07438938Recruiting
Lazarus airway opening index trial for cardiac arrest
This study looks at a new measure called the Airway Opening Index (AOI) to see if it can help doctors predict when a person's airway opens during CPR after a heart attack outside the hospital. If you've had a cardiac arrest and needed a breathing tube, this research might help improve how care is given.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT07564778Recruiting
Pain Management After Cardiac Arrest Recovery
This study examines how to better treat pain in patients who have survived cardiac arrest and are unconscious in the hospital. Researchers want to understand pain experiences and test pain-relief strategies during early recovery.
HalmstadAges 18 years+ - NCT07596446Recruiting
Emergency treatment study for cardiac arrest patients
This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
PragueAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT05830422Enrolling by invitation
Predicting late thinking problems after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how to predict delayed cognitive (thinking) impairment in people who survived a cardiac arrest but initially seemed neurologically okay. It may help identify who is at higher risk so follow-up and support can be planned earlier.
Daejeon, Seo-guAges 18 years+ - NCT05890716Recruiting
AI analyzes your ECG to help in high-risk heart rhythm cases
This trial uses an AI program to review ECG heart-tracing data collected from short-term monitoring devices. It aims to see whether the AI can better detect concerning heart rhythm patterns in people who are high risk for heart rhythm or heart problems.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 4 years+ - 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 - NCT06395558Recruiting
Online support program for cardiac arrest survivors
This trial tests if an internet-based program helps people recover after a cardiac arrest. You may qualify if you were discharged from the hospital with good brain function and can use the web.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18–80 - NCT06327334Recruiting
Brain-heart interaction study after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact after a cardiac arrest that leaves someone unconscious. It aims to understand these connections better, which could help improve care for future patients.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07481396Recruiting
Studying brain injury after cardiac arrest through spinal fluid
This trial is looking at the spinal fluid of people who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated for brain injury. The goal is to learn more about brain damage and find new ways to help patients recover.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 82 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.
