Can a smart CPR device and better relay timing save more lives?
NCT ID NCT03817892
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways to improve CPR during cardiac arrest: changing how often rescuers switch (every 2 vs. 4 minutes) and using a device called CPRmeter that gives real-time feedback on chest compressions. Researchers measured the quality of compressions in 51 patients. The goal is to find the best approach to keep blood flowing and improve survival chances.

Active substance
CPRmeter feedback device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better CPR guidelines that improve survival from cardiac arrest.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to all real-world settings. The device's benefit seen in manikins may not translate to actual patients.
