Testing vasopressin and steroids with adrenaline in cardiac arrest
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding vasopressin and steroids to the standard emergency medicine adrenaline improves survival after out-of-hospital or in-hospital cardiac arrest. If you qualify, the treatment is chosen by chance (randomized) to help doctors learn which approach works best.

This Phase 3 trial studies treatments given after a person survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to improve recovery and survival. It is for patients who stay unconscious for a short time after circulation returns, and who meet safety conditions.
This trial tests whether a combination of three medications (epinephrine, vasopressin, and a steroid) given by paramedics before arriving at the hospital can improve survival for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. It is only for patients who are treated by specially trained paramedics and meet specific medical criteria.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether hydrocortisone plus vasopressin (or related hormone treatments) can improve shock in adults after a resuscitated cardiac arrest. It targets people who remain very low in blood pressure despite fluids and need strong IV medicines to maintain blood pressure.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of epinephrine (a medicine that helps restart the heart) during a cardiac arrest can improve brain recovery. It compares standard treatment with adding this low dose to see if more patients recover without brain damage.
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 compares two medications, epinephrine and isoprenaline, given to people who have a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) with a specific heart rhythm called asystole (flatline). The goal is to see which drug is better at restarting the heart and improving chances of survival.
