Detecting pulse in cardiac arrest with a neck ultrasound patch
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a small ultrasound patch on the neck can find a pulse in people having a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors know if blood is flowing during emergency treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 99 years old
- You are in cardiac arrest and have a standard arterial line placed as part of your emergency care
- Your neck skin must be intact, without cuts or bandages
- You cannot have a 'Do Not Resuscitate' or 'Do Not Intubate' order in place
- You are not pregnant or a prisoner

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 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 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 tests whether a special CT scan of the heart can help doctors see blockages in people who survived a cardiac arrest but did not have a typical heart attack. If you qualify, the CT scan might provide important information without needing a standard heart catheterization first.
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
This study tests a wristband that can detect cardiac arrest and send an alert. It may help people with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) feel safer in daily life.
