Testing rules for stopping resuscitation after out-of-hospital arrests
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies and checks decision rules doctors can use to decide when to stop CPR in patients who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help make those decisions more consistent and safer across Asian countries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- The cardiac arrest happened outside the hospital (an out-of-hospital emergency).
- You arrived at the emergency department by EMS (not private or non-EMS transport).
- There are no clear, obvious signs of death at arrival and no do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order.
- The study has the needed information; key data can’t be missing.

This trial is for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital and who received emergency resuscitation, where emergency doctors believed it was caused by a heart problem. The goal is to learn how to better treat or manage this type of cardiac arrest.
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 the best timing for chest compressions and airway management for adults who have sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may help improve survival chances by guiding first EMS responders on how to act sooner and more consistently.
This study collects information about people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital, where it is thought to be from a heart or blood-vessel cause. It helps researchers understand what happens and may improve future care, even though it is mainly about collecting data.
This trial tests a treatment that uses a blood pressure cuff on your arms to try to protect your brain and organs after your heart stopped outside the hospital. You will be in the intensive care unit, and the study will check if this simple 'remote conditioning' can improve recovery.
This study records information about people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and receive automatic chest compressions. It focuses on specific heart rhythms and emergency timing, which may help improve future emergency treatment.
