Argon treatment for certain out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether breathing “argon” through a breathing device, started soon after successful CPR, can improve recovery in adults who had a witnessed, shockable cardiac arrest. It is for ICU patients who were unconscious right after return of heartbeat and meet specific timing and oxygen level requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- Your cardiac arrest happened outside the hospital, was witnessed, and was not caused by trauma.
- The heart rhythm at the start of arrest was “shockable,” not pulseless electrical activity or asystole.
- You were unconscious after CPR successfully restarted blood flow (ROSC).
- CPR time was 40 minutes or less, and argon treatment would start within 4 hours after ROSC.
- Your oxygen level is stable (SaO2 at least 94%) while receiving 30% oxygen (FiO2 30%).

This trial tests if breathing argon gas during and after surgery can help prevent thinking and memory problems in patients having carotid artery surgery. If effective, it could speed up recovery.
This trial tests whether breathing a gas called xenon can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for people who are unconscious after their heart stops and aims to improve recovery and reduce brain damage.
This study looks at how oxygen is given to adults after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It aims to find the best way to use oxygen to improve outcomes.
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 studies a hospital treatment for people who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital and still need help breathing. It may help improve care right after this emergency by testing an airway resuscitation approach.
This trial tests a new approach to care for people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and have been revived by emergency services. The goal is to see if a structured treatment plan can prevent another arrest before reaching the hospital.
