Continuous compression breathing method for sudden cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of combining chest compressions with breathing support for people whose heart stops suddenly. It aims to see if this special breathing pattern during CPR improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- The cardiac arrest must have been witnessed (seen by someone).
- Chest compressions must have started within 5 minutes of the arrest.
- The first heart rhythm recorded must be ventricular fibrillation (a specific abnormal rhythm).
- You must have a breathing tube and be treated with a mechanical chest compression device.

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.
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 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 study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
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.
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.
