Recruiting studies
- NCT06511999Recruiting
Measuring brain oxygen after cardiac arrest
This study tests a special sensor placed in a neck vein to continuously measure oxygen levels in the blood returning from the brain after cardiac arrest. The goal is to help doctors better understand and protect brain function during recovery in the ICU.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06473207Recruiting
Can a blood pressure cuff protect the brain after cardiac arrest?
This trial tests if a special blood pressure cuff (like a tourniquet) placed on the leg can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for patients who are unconscious and on a breathing machine after their heart restarts.
Toulon, VarAges 18 years+ - NCT06397417Recruiting
ECMO for refractory cardiac arrest
This study looks at a treatment called ECMO, a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs, to help people whose heart has stopped and does not restart with standard CPR. Researchers want to learn if placing ECMO at the scene can improve survival.
ParisAges 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+ - NCT06203847Recruiting
Prehospital drug combo for cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether a combination of three medications (epinephrine, vasopressin, and a steroid) given by paramedics before arriving at the hospital can improve survival for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. It is only for patients who are treated by specially trained paramedics and meet specific medical criteria.
TaipeiAges 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+ - NCT06122337Recruiting
Finding causes of cardiac arrest in young adults
This study looks at why young adults have a cardiac arrest (when the heart suddenly stops pumping) outside the hospital, with no injury involved. It aims to better understand causes such as heart, genetic, or other medical issues.
TaipeiAges 18–60 - NCT06025123Recruiting
Cooling treatment for cardiac arrest before hospital
This trial tests whether cooling the brain through the nose right after a cardiac arrest improves survival. Paramedics will start a cooling treatment within 20 minutes of arriving, and it may help protect your brain while you are unconscious.
GrazAges 18–79 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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.
Montpellier, SartheAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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+ - NCT03826524RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two doses of epinephrine for cardiac arrest
This study looks at whether a higher dose of epinephrine (a medicine that helps restart the heart) is better than the standard dose for people whose heart has stopped outside of a hospital. It aims to see if one dose leads to better survival and recovery.
Victoria, British ColumbiaAges 18 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 - 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.
Daejeon, Jung-guAges 18 years+ - NCT06401707RecruitingPhase 2
Seizure prevention after cardiac arrest
This study tests a seizure-prevention medicine called perampanel for people whose hearts stopped beating (cardiac arrest) and are now in the ICU. The goal is to see if it helps prevent seizures that can happen after such an event.
