Ultrasound patch to detect pulse during cardiac arrest care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new adhesive patch that uses sound waves (Doppler ultrasound) to detect blood flow in the neck artery during cardiac arrest. It may help emergency teams know if the heart is pumping blood during CPR, without stopping chest compressions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older (up to 99 years old).
- You must be having a cardiac arrest (your heart has stopped beating).
- You must have an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) already placed as part of your emergency care.
- You must not have a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) or do-not-intubate (DNI) order.
- The skin on your neck must be intact (no cuts or sores).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if using an ultrasound to guide hand placement during CPR improves outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may help decide where to push for more effective chest compressions.
This trial tests a wristband that can detect cardiac arrest and send an alert to your doctor or emergency services. It may help people with an implantable defibrillator (ICD) get faster help if their heart stops beating effectively.
This trial tests an investigational device called Neurescue, used alongside standard CPR and life support to treat adults who have had a witnessed cardiac arrest. It is designed for people whose heart cannot be restarted by a shock and who receive CPR very soon after collapse.
This trial studies a special belt placed tightly around the abdomen during CPR for cardiac arrest that is not caused by injury. It aims to see if this belt helps blood flow to the heart and brain, potentially improving chances of survival.
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 study uses a special light-based device to measure brain oxygen levels and blood flow in patients recovering from cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if this monitoring can help doctors better predict patient outcomes.
