Updated care for persistent cardiac arrest outside hospital
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of managing adults whose hearts stop outside a hospital and who haven't responded to usual CPR. It aims to see if the updated procedure improves survival and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital.
- You are aged 18 or older.
- You were enrolled in the ECPR program (a treatment that uses a machine to pump and oxygenate your blood).
- The time from cardiac arrest to starting the machine was less than 60 minutes.
- Your cardiac arrest was not caused by an injury.

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 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.
This study tests a rapid way to give life support using a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR) to people experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest that doesn't stop with defibrillators or standard CPR. The goal is to start this treatment within 20 minutes of the emergency call, which may improve chances of survival.
This trial tests a better way to get a mobile team that can start ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to people who have a sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The goal is to see if this approach can help save more lives in certain regions.
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 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.
