Testing a cardiac arrest response system in the emergency room
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a new emergency-room system helps respond faster and more consistently when someone has a cardiac arrest. If you are eligible, you may be included while you are treated in the emergency department.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 20 years old or older when you are recruited in the emergency department
- Be able to understand the study and sign the consent form
- Be able to follow study steps (for example, wear a wristband if asked)
- Not plan to leave the emergency department against medical advice
- Not already be enrolled—or planning to enroll—in another research study that would interfere with full participation

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study looks at how emergency dispatchers and communication systems can better recognize when a person may be in cardiac arrest during ambulance call handling. It may help EMS teams act faster, potentially improving outcomes.
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.
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.
This study looks at how care in the emergency room after a cardiac arrest affects short-term recovery. It may help doctors find better ways to treat patients whose hearts have stopped outside the hospital.
