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

This trial is testing if raising the head and chest while using a balloon (REBOA) to block blood flow in the aorta can help restart the heart during cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may be an option for people who collapse suddenly and receive quick emergency care.
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 trial tests an updated emergency procedure for people whose heart stops outside a hospital and does not restart with standard treatments. It may help if you are in a program that uses a heart-lung machine (ECPR) and have been without normal blood flow for less than an hour.
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 new way of giving CPR that combines chest compressions with a breathing rhythm. It's for people who had a witnessed cardiac arrest with a specific heart rhythm, got help quickly, and were treated with a mechanical CPR device.
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.
