NCT ID NCT03494153
First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looked at 346 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Doctors used an ultrasound within the first 12 minutes of CPR to see if the heart was still. The goal was to find out if a still heart on ultrasound can predict that the heart won't start beating again. The results could help doctors make faster decisions about treatments like ECMO or organ donation.
