CPR quality before and during hospital care
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a cardiac arrest, which is when your heart stops beating.
- A defibrillator was used to try to restart your heart.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- CPR, which is chest compressions and rescue breaths, was given to you.

This trial looks at how well CPR (chest compressions) is done during an emergency resuscitation in children and young adults. The goal is to understand what helps improve care during life-saving resuscitation.
This study looks at how cardiac arrest affects people's quality of life and survival after being in the intensive care unit. Participating may help doctors understand how to improve care for future patients.
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.
This study is trying to find better ways to predict recovery in people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors give more accurate information to families.
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.
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.
