Optimizing breathing support for cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests different breathing techniques used by paramedics during cardiac arrest to see which approach improves survival. If you or a loved one has had a cardiac arrest, this study may help guide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- The cardiac arrest is presumed to be caused by a heart problem
- Paramedics treated you and used a special monitor to track ventilation
- No do-not-resuscitate order is in place
- The arrest was not caused by trauma, drowning, hanging, suffocation, or drug overdose
- You are not pregnant and not a prisoner

This trial tests if giving real-time feedback to rescuers during CPR can improve how they deliver breaths (rate and volume) to a person whose heart has stopped. It may help make ventilation more consistent and effective.
This trial studies a hospital treatment for people who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital and still need help breathing. It may help improve care right after this emergency by testing an airway resuscitation approach.
This trial tests a targeted approach to manage oxygen levels in the brain for patients who received ECMO (a machine that does the heart and lung work) after a cardiac arrest that did not respond to standard CPR. The goal is to improve brain recovery and outcomes.
This study compares two ways to help newborns who need breathing support right after birth. It looks at whether giving steady air with chest presses or using a 3:1 rhythm of breaths to presses works better. This could help improve care for babies born not breathing well.
This trial tests a new way to cool the body quickly after a cardiac arrest using a special liquid that is breathed into the lungs. The goal is to protect the brain and improve recovery.
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.
