Study on ambulance workers' experiences with child cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study aims to understand the experiences of ambulance clinicians who have attended a child's cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The findings may help improve support for staff and care for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an ambulance clinician who responds to 999 calls face-to-face.
- Your role would include attending a child's cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
- You are employed by an NHS Ambulance Service in the UK.

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 collects information about people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital, where it is thought to be from a heart or blood-vessel cause. It helps researchers understand what happens and may improve future care, even though it is mainly about collecting data.
This study looks at why young adults have a cardiac arrest (when the heart suddenly stops pumping) outside the hospital, with no injury involved. It aims to better understand causes such as heart, genetic, or other medical issues.
This trial is for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital and who received emergency resuscitation, where emergency doctors believed it was caused by a heart problem. The goal is to learn how to better treat or manage this type of cardiac arrest.
This study records information about people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and receive automatic chest compressions. It focuses on specific heart rhythms and emergency timing, which may help improve future emergency treatment.
This trial studies the best timing for chest compressions and airway management for adults who have sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may help improve survival chances by guiding first EMS responders on how to act sooner and more consistently.
