Ventilation during in-hospital cardiac arrest study
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital.
- There is at least 1 minute of recorded breathing data during the arrest.
- You do not have a do-not-resuscitate order in place.
- You are not on a heart-lung bypass machine at the time of the arrest.

This trial tests whether a specific breathing technique (PEEP) during CPR helps improve outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated by emergency medical teams.
This trial compares different ways to give breaths using a breathing tube during CPR to find the best approach for people having a cardiac arrest in the hospital.
This trial tests a new way to control the breaths given during CPR for adults who have a cardiac arrest in the hospital. The goal is to improve how ventilation is delivered during resuscitation.
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine for people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It looks at whether using a small amount of extra pressure (called PEEP) improves outcomes compared to using no extra pressure (ZEEP).
This study compares how doctors set the ventilator for people whose heart has stopped or is too weak to pump blood. It uses a special computer program (VentilO) to see if it can suggest better settings based on blood gas results.
This trial is testing whether increasing the pause in chest compressions from 3 to 5 seconds during CPR helps improve breathing support and the chance of restarting the heart. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were treated with a mechanical compression device called LUCAS.
