Adapted CPR study for cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- CPR (chest compressions) starts within 21 minutes of the heart stopping.
- You are not obviously pregnant.
- No medical reasons that prevent using the LUCAS 3 device, a mechanical chest compression machine.
- The emergency doctor does not think CPR is no longer helpful.

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.
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 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 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 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 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.
