Device-assisted CPR with head and chest elevation during arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a CPR method that uses a device to help raise the head and chest during active resuscitation after cardiac arrest. It may help guide whether this technique improves outcomes for people who are not breathing normally and do not have a pulse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You must be in active cardiac arrest right when enrollment happens
- Your care team must be using CPR that includes certain approved device types
- Your CPR must also include raising the head and chest using the study’s device

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to people in cardiac arrest before they reach the hospital can improve survival. It might be an option if you had a witnessed heart attack and received CPR quickly.
This study tests a new way of managing adults whose hearts stop outside a hospital and who haven't responded to usual CPR. It aims to see if the updated procedure improves survival and recovery.
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 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 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 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.
