Studying cardiac arrests in surgical areas
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens when patients have a cardiac arrest (their heart stops) in or near the operating room. The goal is to learn more about these events and how to improve care and emergency response in the surgical setting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 1 month of age.
- The cardiac arrest must have happened in a surgical area or in a nearby place where monitored anesthesia or sedation is given.
- You cannot have been having a major outpatient (same-day) surgery when the cardiac arrest occurred.
- You cannot have been on ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine) or a ventricular assist device at the time of the cardiac arrest.

This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
This trial looks at cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provided right in the operating room when a patient’s heart stops. It may help improve how emergency care is delivered during surgery.
This study looks at how to best treat adults who go into cardiac arrest because of a serious injury, like from a car crash or fall. The goal is to find ways to improve survival and recovery.
This study looks at witnessed sudden cardiac arrest happening in residential areas, and tests whether a new first-responder approach gets help to people faster. It may help improve outcomes after cardiac arrest by improving the timing and coordination of emergency response.
This study looks at lung-related problems that can happen when someone is on a breathing machine after surviving a cardiac arrest. If you qualify, researchers will track your recovery to better understand how to prevent these complications.
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.
