VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION

This study is testing whether a sedative medication called dexmedetomidine can help patients experiencing 'electrical storm'—a life-threatening condition where the heart's lower chambers beat dangerously fast and repeatedly. About 192 adults admitted to intensive care with this c…

This study tests if starting cooling treatment immediately at the scene of a cardiac arrest, using a special nasal device, helps people survive with better brain function. It compares this early cooling approach to the current standard of care, which maintains normal body tempera…

This study is testing whether a lower total dose of the standard emergency drug epinephrine (adrenaline) leads to better survival for adults who suffer a specific type of cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Paramedics will randomly give eligible patients either the lower dose or…

This study is testing if a small balloon can be placed in a major artery during a cardiac arrest to help improve blood flow to the brain and heart. It will be done by a specialized air ambulance team on 40 patients who have collapsed outside of a hospital. The goal is to see if t…

This study is testing if using two defibrillators in a specific way, right after the first standard shock fails, can save more lives from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It will compare this 'double sequential defibrillation' strategy against continuing with standard single shock…
