Study for certain adult cardiac arrest patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is for adults who have a specific type of cardiac arrest called PEA when EMS arrives. It tests whether the study approach can improve outcomes after this kind of arrest.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be age 18 or older
- The heart arrest episode must happen while EMS is treating you and be classified as PEA (unconscious, no neck pulse, and heart rhythm is not VT/VF)
- Your arrest must not be due to a physical injury (no traumatic cardiac arrest)
- Your cardiac arrest must not have been untreated for more than 30 minutes
- You must not be pregnant
- You must not have an LVAD heart pump, and you must not be in a situation where resuscitation is clearly not wanted (durable DNR given to EMS)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a treatment called ECPR, which uses a machine to pump blood and add oxygen after a cardiac arrest that doesn't respond to standard CPR and shocks. It aims to improve survival and recovery by quickly starting this support in the hospital.
This trial tests different breathing techniques used by paramedics during cardiac arrest to see which approach improves survival. If you or a loved one has had a cardiac arrest, this study may help guide better care.
This trial tests a targeted approach to manage oxygen levels in the brain for patients who received ECMO (a machine that does the heart and lung work) after a cardiac arrest that did not respond to standard CPR. The goal is to improve brain recovery and outcomes.
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 tests whether a specific breathing technique (PEEP) during CPR helps improve outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated by emergency medical teams.
This study compares different ways to use a defibrillator (a device that delivers an electric shock to restart the heart) when someone has a cardiac arrest outside a hospital. It aims to find the best approach to improve survival.
