Best breathing methods during cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a breathing tube (endotracheal tube or similar) in place when CPR starts or within the first 5 minutes.
- You must receive CPR for at least 1 minute.
- You cannot be having CPR only as part of end-of-life care.
- You cannot have been declared brain dead before the cardiac arrest.
- Your cardiac arrest cannot be the reason you were admitted to the hospital (coming from outside the hospital).
- You cannot be on a heart-lung machine (VA-ECMO) when CPR begins.
