First responder help and survival after cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how first responder help affects survival after a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. It might help improve emergency response in your region.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- The cardiac arrest must happen outside of a hospital.
- Emergency medical services (like calling 118) must have been called.
- Advanced life support (a specialized ambulance or team) must have been dispatched.

This trial is studying a new system where trained volunteers respond quickly to help people whose heart stops outside of a hospital in Zug, Switzerland. The goal is to see if this system improves survival and recovery.
This trial tests a training program for emergency dispatchers to improve how they handle calls about suspected cardiac arrest. It aims to help them recognize cardiac arrest faster and guide callers through CPR.
This trial tests whether care from a specialist team helps people recover better after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you were revived and brought to the emergency department with a pulse, you might be eligible.
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 study compares different ways to use a defibrillator (a device that delivers an electric shock to restart the heart) when someone has a cardiac arrest outside a hospital. It aims to find the best approach to improve survival.
This study tests a web-based support program for people who have survived a cardiac arrest. It aims to help you with recovery by providing online tools and information.
