Study of early help for witnessed home cardiac arrests
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- It must be a witnessed cardiac arrest recorded in Denmark’s cardiac arrest registry.
- The arrest must happen in a residential area within the study locations.
- The cause must not be from trauma (injury) or things like drowning, intoxication, or suicide.
- It must happen outside a nursing home.
- Emergency medical services (EMS) must be able to treat the person (not excluded for ethics or clear signs of death).
- The EMS team must not be the one who witnessed the arrest.

This study records information about people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and receive automatic chest compressions. It focuses on specific heart rhythms and emergency timing, which may help improve future emergency treatment.
This trial uses data from smartwatches and smartphones to better predict and recognize cardiac arrest. If you are a healthy volunteer or have had a heart event, your device data could help improve emergency care.
This trial is for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital and who received emergency resuscitation, where emergency doctors believed it was caused by a heart problem. The goal is to learn how to better treat or manage this type of cardiac arrest.
This trial studies the best timing for chest compressions and airway management for adults who have sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may help improve survival chances by guiding first EMS responders on how to act sooner and more consistently.
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 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.
