Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06552299Recruiting
Testing how well people measure CPR depth and length
This study compares how accurately laypeople and healthcare providers estimate the depth and length of CPR chest compressions. It helps researchers understand if training or experience affects measurement accuracy.
SeoulAges 18 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+ - NCT07451730Recruiting
Resuscitation and memory recall study
This study tests how CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) affects the ability of trained medical professionals to remember details of an emergency. It may help understand how stress impacts memory during real-life rescues.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 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+ - 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 - NCT07422077Recruiting
Stress study for ICU recovery patients
This trial tests whether a special relaxation technique (ERCS) can lower stress for people recovering in a post-ICU rehabilitation unit. If you're an adult in this unit, you may be able to join.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07388342Recruiting
CT heart scan after cardiac arrest without heart attack
This trial tests whether a special CT scan of the heart can help doctors see blockages in people who survived a cardiac arrest but did not have a typical heart attack. If you qualify, the CT scan might provide important information without needing a standard heart catheterization first.
Brussels, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07329842Recruiting
Bed height and CPR quality in pediatric simulation
This trial tests how the height of a hospital bed affects chest compression quality and the physical strain on doctors during CPR on a child-sized manikin. It may help find the optimal bed height to improve CPR effectiveness.
Antalya, AntalyaAges 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 - 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 - NCT07285915Recruiting
Stress and Cortisol in Cardiac Arrest
This study looks at how stress (specifically the hormone cortisol) affects people during a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors understand and improve care.
Pilsen, Czech RepublicAges 18–100 - NCT07286643Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided sepsis care for patients with cirrhosis
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound of the heart can guide treatment for sepsis-related low blood pressure in patients with cirrhosis. It aims to improve care and outcomes for critically ill patients.
ChandigarhAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT07212998RecruitingPhase 3
Plasma early for burn shock and blood vessel health
This trial tests whether giving fresh frozen plasma early helps treat burn shock and improve blood vessel function in adults with large burns. It may reduce the amount of fluid needed and prevent complications.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06207942Recruiting
Extended follow-up for cardiac arrest survivors and caregivers
This study follows up on survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who were already in the STEPCARE trial. It also looks at the well-being of their main caregiver (like a family member or close friend) to see how everyone is doing over time.
BrisbaneAges 18 years+ - NCT07113769Recruiting
Biomarkers and platelets in CPR patients
This trial is studying the blood biomarkers and platelet characteristics in patients who receive CPR and are then placed on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR). It aims to understand how these biological markers relate to patient outcomes.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07085832Recruiting
CPR skills test after ALS training
This trial checks how well healthcare providers perform CPR after completing an Advanced Life Support (ALS) training course. It aims to see if the training improves their skills in saving lives.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07062744Recruiting
Swan-Ganz catheter for cardiogenic shock after heart attack
This study tests whether a special catheter (Swan-Ganz) placed in the heart's blood vessels helps doctors better manage fluids and medications for people in cardiogenic shock after a heart attack. It aims to improve blood flow to vital organs.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07028372Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of cardiac arrest survivors who had ultra-rapid cooling
This trial checks on the long-term health of people who survived a cardiac arrest and received ultra-rapid cooling as part of an earlier study (OverCool). The goal is to see how they are doing over time.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06759389Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resuscitation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 97 recruiting resuscitation 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 resuscitation 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 resuscitation 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.
