Trial for patients after in-hospital cardiac arrest needing breathing support
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had cardiac arrest while already in the hospital (no pulse) and chest compressions lasted at least 2 minutes.
- After the arrest, you need assisted breathing support (for example, bag-mask ventilation or another breathing machine).
- Your cardiac arrest was handled by emergency or critical care teams (not a unit that didn’t respond).
- You do NOT have orders to refuse resuscitation or intubation (tube in the airway).

This trial is comparing different ways to manage the airway (how you breathe) during a cardiac arrest that happens inside the hospital. It helps doctors decide which type of breathing device works best in an emergency.
This trial is testing a special way of giving breaths (ventilation) during CPR to see if it helps more people survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It is for adults whose heart stopped due to a heart problem and were treated by paramedics.
This trial tests two ways to help newborns who are not breathing well right after birth. One method gives a sustained breath followed by chest compressions, and the other uses a 3:1 ratio of breaths to compressions. The goal is to find out which works best to get babies breathing on their own.
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 trial tests if placing a balloon in the main artery (aorta) during CPR can improve blood flow to the heart and brain. It is for adults who have a cardiac arrest while already in the hospital and have a pulse-check showing some heart activity.
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
