Antalya, AntalyaAges 18 years+ - NCT05756426Recruiting
Study to test bio-blood components for emergency resuscitation
This trial looks at “bio-artificial blood components” to see how well they work for adaptive treatment during emergency resuscitation (helping the body recover). You may be eligible if you’re an adult, generally healthy, and can complete the study in English.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT06884046Recruiting
Supporting parents of babies with heart conditions
This study offers support to parents whose baby is diagnosed with a heart condition before birth and will need surgery shortly after birth. The goal is to help parents manage stress during this difficult time.
Pessac, FranceAges birth–4 weeks - NCT06907758Recruiting
How organ donor care before surgery affects kidney transplant success
This study looks at whether special care given to brain-dead organ donors before their kidneys are removed helps the kidneys work better after they are transplanted into recipients. It reviews data from transplants done at Strasbourg University Hospital between 2018 and 2023.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06900972Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Comparing fluids' effect on heart function
This trial compares two types of IV fluids (colloids and crystalloids) to see how they affect heart function. It is open to healthy adults who are not pregnant and have no known medical problems.
Monastir, TunisiaAges 18–60 - 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+ - NCT04591990RecruitingPhase 3
Hydrocortisone and vasopressin for shock after cardiac arrest
This Phase 3 trial tests whether hydrocortisone plus vasopressin (or related hormone treatments) can improve shock in adults after a resuscitated cardiac arrest. It targets people who remain very low in blood pressure despite fluids and need strong IV medicines to maintain blood pressure.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04760977Recruiting
HEMS care for bleeding trauma with low blood pressure
This trial studies how emergency helicopter (HEMS) teams manage trauma patients who have signs of shock from blood loss, especially when bleeding is suspected or ongoing. It may help teams choose the best pre-hospital approach to stabilize you sooner.
AlessandriaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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 - NCT05321459Recruiting
Testing outcome prediction in comatose patients after cardiac arrest
This study looks at tests that may help predict outcomes in people who remain in a coma 3 to 7 days after surviving a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better estimate recovery and guide care decisions.
BobignyAges 18 years+ - NCT05373498Recruiting
Registry for children’s heart emergencies after resuscitation
This trial is a registry that collects information about children (under 18) who have congenital heart problems and need resuscitation with chest compressions. It helps doctors understand these emergencies and may improve future care for similar patients.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges Up to 18 years - NCT05520762Recruiting
Trial for patients after in-hospital cardiac arrest needing breathing support
This trial studies a hospital treatment for people who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital and still need help breathing. It may help improve care right after this emergency by testing an airway resuscitation approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05638581RecruitingPhase 3
Compare low-titer type O whole blood for trauma bleeding
This study tests whether giving low-titer type O whole blood (or related blood products) works better for treating serious bleeding after a traumatic injury. It’s for adults who start blood transfusions right away under a massive bleeding plan.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 15 years+ - NCT05681624Recruiting
Extra oxygen during labor to support the baby
This trial studies whether giving extra oxygen to the pregnant person during labor helps the baby during “intrauterine resuscitation,” when monitoring suggests the baby needs support. It may help babies recover better while still in the womb, especially during continuous fetal monitoring.
St Louis, MissouriAges Any age - NCT05849077Recruiting
Testing oxygen saturation targets during newborn resuscitation
This study looks at the best oxygen saturation targets and resuscitation approach for very premature babies right after birth. It may help clinicians guide breathing support more safely in the first minutes of life.
Dallas, TexasAges birth–10 minutes - NCT05917717Recruiting
Test a care bundle for adults after witnessed cardiac arrest
This trial studies a “care bundle” approach using special devices to improve care after an out-of-hospital or witnessed cardiac arrest. It may help by standardizing emergency treatment for people right after their heart stops.
Southampton, EnglandAges 18–120 - 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.
ViennaAges 18–79 - NCT06062303Recruiting
Capillary refill time to guide septic shock treatment
This trial tests a new way of giving fluids and medicines to people with septic shock. It focuses on a simple sign called capillary refill time (how fast color returns when you press a fingernail) to guide treatment, aiming to improve recovery.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06067204Recruiting
Automatic breathing machine during cardiac arrest
This trial tests if using an automatic ventilator during CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest helps with survival. It aims to find better ways to manage breathing support in emergencies.
HsinchuAges 18 years+ - NCT06071910Recruiting
