Study CPR during surgery when the heart stops
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provided right in the operating room when a patient’s heart stops. It may help improve how emergency care is delivered during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your heart stops during an operation in the operating room
- You (or your legal representative) can give informed consent when required by the study
- You are not already receiving CPR when you first arrive in the operating room
- The situation happens during surgery (not before you enter the OR)

This study looks at what happens when patients have a cardiac arrest (their heart stops) in or near the operating room. The goal is to learn more about these events and how to improve care and emergency response in the surgical setting.
This study looks at how well CPR is performed before and after patients arrive at the hospital. It may help improve emergency care for people who have a cardiac arrest.
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.
This trial tests a treatment called ECPR, which uses a machine to pump blood and add oxygen after a cardiac arrest that doesn't respond to standard CPR and shocks. It aims to improve survival and recovery by quickly starting this support in the hospital.
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.
This trial compares different CPR positions to see which works best for people whose hearts stop outside a hospital. It aims to improve survival by finding the most effective technique.
