ECPR before hospital for cardiac arrest in Pavia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special heart-lung machine (ECPR) can be started before reaching the hospital after a cardiac arrest. It is for people whose heart does not restart after standard CPR and who meet specific conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your cardiac arrest must have happened in the Pavia province area and been seen by someone.
- CPR must have started within 5 minutes, or you were still gasping when the emergency team arrived.
- The ECPR team must arrive within 60 minutes of the collapse.
- Your carbon dioxide level in the breath (etCO2) must be at least 10 mmHg.
- Your heart must not have restarted after at least 15 minutes of advanced life support.

This trial tests a treatment called ECPR, which uses a machine to pump blood and add oxygen after a cardiac arrest that doesn't respond to standard CPR and shocks. It aims to improve survival and recovery by quickly starting this support in the hospital.
This study tests a rapid way to give life support using a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR) to people experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest that doesn't stop with defibrillators or standard CPR. The goal is to start this treatment within 20 minutes of the emergency call, which may improve chances of survival.
This study tests a new way of managing adults whose hearts stop outside a hospital and who haven't responded to usual CPR. It aims to see if the updated procedure improves survival and recovery.
This trial tests a better way to get a mobile team that can start ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to people who have a sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The goal is to see if this approach can help save more lives in certain regions.
This trial tests whether giving ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to people in cardiac arrest before they reach the hospital can improve survival. It might be an option if you had a witnessed heart attack and received CPR quickly.
This study looks at a treatment called ECMO, a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs, to help people whose heart has stopped and does not restart with standard CPR. Researchers want to learn if placing ECMO at the scene can improve survival.
