Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry using automatic CPR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 60 years old (not a child and not older than 60)
- Your cardiac arrest was sudden and witnessed, with CPR started right away
- The emergency team believed it was caused by the heart
- At the first medical check, your heart rhythm was VF or pulseless VT and defibrillation was attempted 3 times without return of pulse
- Automatic CPR with the LUCAS chest compression device was used
- You were transferred to the emergency department in under 30 minutes and ETCO2 was over 10

This study tests a rapid way to give life support using a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR) to people experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest that doesn't stop with defibrillators or standard CPR. The goal is to start this treatment within 20 minutes of the emergency call, which may improve chances of survival.
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 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 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 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.
This trial tests if using an automatic ventilator during CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest helps with survival. It aims to find better ways to manage breathing support in emergencies.
