Testing CPR quality after a heart arrest
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) given before and during time in the hospital after a cardiac arrest. It may help improve how CPR is delivered to improve outcomes for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You had a cardiac arrest (heart stopped) for any reason
- A defibrillator was used during the emergency care
- CPR (chest compressions with breathing help as needed) was done
- Your case must be in the hospital setting for the study period (pre- and in-hospital CPR quality)

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 trial looks at how well patients do after a cardiac arrest, focusing on how care has improved over time following new guidelines. It aims to find better ways to help people who survive a cardiac arrest.
This trial is testing a special way of giving breaths (ventilation) during CPR to see if it helps more people survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It is for adults whose heart stopped due to a heart problem and were treated by paramedics.
This trial tests whether using a machine to pump blood and oxygen (ECPR) right after a witnessed cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm can improve survival. You might be eligible if you had a witnessed arrest, got bystander CPR, and your first rhythm was shockable, as long as the emergency team can reach the hospital in 30 minutes.
This study looks at quality of life and survival for teens and adults who are admitted to the ICU after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors understand which care approaches lead to better outcomes and wellbeing.
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.
