Test a care bundle for adults after witnessed cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- The event was a witnessed cardiac arrest
- You (or the team) know the collapse time pretty closely and it was within 20 minutes
- Your body size/shape should fit the bundle devices
- The arrest was not caused by a clear injury or drowning or hanging

This trial tests a set of treatments designed to protect the brain in people who remain unconscious after their heart restarts following a cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery by preventing further brain injury.
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 trial studies the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) given before and during time in the hospital after a cardiac arrest. It may help improve how CPR is delivered to improve outcomes for future patients.
This trial tests whether using a machine to pump blood and oxygen (ECPR) right after a witnessed cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm can improve survival. You might be eligible if you had a witnessed arrest, got bystander CPR, and your first rhythm was shockable, as long as the emergency team can reach the hospital in 30 minutes.
This trial checks whether a new emergency-room system helps respond faster and more consistently when someone has a cardiac arrest. If you are eligible, you may be included while you are treated in the emergency department.
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.
