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.

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 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 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 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 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 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).
