Breathing help during cardiac arrest (cadaver study)
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to give breaths to people during cardiac arrest (when the heart stops). It uses human cadavers (bodies donated for research) to test different ventilation methods, which may help improve how emergency responders help patients in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must not have adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- You must not have severe lung or chest injuries.
- You must not have a collapsed lung (pneumothorax).
- You must not have an abnormal airway or a tracheostomy.

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 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 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 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 if giving real-time feedback to rescuers during CPR can improve how they deliver breaths (rate and volume) to a person whose heart has stopped. It may help make ventilation more consistent and effective.
This study looks at how acid-base balance (the body's pH level) and breathing machine settings affect people in cardiogenic shock or after cardiac arrest. It compares current practices with a computer program called VentilO to see if it can suggest better ventilator settings.
