Adjusting CPR hand position using ultrasound
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if using an ultrasound to guide hand placement during CPR improves outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may help decide where to push for more effective chest compressions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital
- You are 18 years or older
- You do not have a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order
- You were not injured in an accident or trauma
- An ultrasound machine and trained operator are available

This trial compares different CPR positions to see which works best for people whose hearts stop outside a hospital. It aims to improve survival by finding the most effective technique.
This study tests a different way of doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when someone's heart stops. It aims to see if this adapted approach can improve outcomes for patients.
This trial tests a new way of giving CPR that combines chest compressions with a breathing rhythm. It's for people who had a witnessed cardiac arrest with a specific heart rhythm, got help quickly, and were treated with a mechanical CPR device.
This study tests if a small ultrasound patch on the neck can find a pulse in people having a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors know if blood is flowing during emergency treatment.
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 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.
