Using REBOA for non-traumatic cardiac arrest outside hospital
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a temporary balloon placed in the aorta, called REBOA, can improve blood flow to the heart and brain during CPR for people whose hearts stop due to a non-traumatic cause. It is for adults who have a witnessed cardiac arrest and arrive at the hospital during daytime hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are aged 20 to 79.
- Your heart stopped due to a medical reason, not an injury.
- Someone saw your heart stop (witnessed arrest).
- You arrive at the ER between 9 AM and 5 PM in South Korea or 8 AM to 8 PM in Taiwan.
- Your heart is not already beating again (no pulse) when you reach the ER.
- You have not been diagnosed with aortic disease (like a tear or ballooning of the aorta) or gastrointestinal bleeding that caused the arrest.

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 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 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 study looks at a treatment called ECMO, a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs, to help people whose heart has stopped and does not restart with standard CPR. Researchers want to learn if placing ECMO at the scene can improve survival.
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 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.
