Comparing airway devices during in-hospital cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is comparing different ways to manage the airway (how you breathe) during a cardiac arrest that happens inside the hospital. It helps doctors decide which type of breathing device works best in an emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having a cardiac arrest while you are admitted as a patient in the hospital.
- The hospital’s cardiac arrest team must be called to help (often by dialing 2222).
- A clinician trained to place both a breathing tube and a supraglottic airway device must be present.
- You must need advanced airway management as part of resuscitation.
- You cannot have a breathing tube already in place, have a tracheostomy, or be known to be pregnant.
- You cannot be a visitor, staff, or outpatient having a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.

This trial studies a hospital treatment for people who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital and still need help breathing. It may help improve care right after this emergency by testing an airway resuscitation approach.
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.
This study compares two ways to help newborns who need breathing support right after birth. It looks at whether giving steady air with chest presses or using a 3:1 rhythm of breaths to presses works better. This could help improve care for babies born not breathing well.
This trial looks at two ways to keep the air you breathe moist after a tracheostomy (a tube in your throat to help you breathe). It compares a device called TrachPhone with a standard warm air humidifier to see which works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
This trial tests different methods of giving breaths (ventilation) to adults who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital. It aims to find which approach works best to improve survival.
This study observes how breathing tube placement (intubation) and other airway care are done during general anesthesia in the operating room and in other anesthesia settings. It may help improve airway management practices in different clinical environments, but you would typically not receive a new treatment as part of an experimental trial.
