First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looks at how often the airway closes during CPR in people who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers will analyze breathing data from 150 patients to see if a new measurement, called the Airway Opening Index, can help predict whether the heart will restart. The goal is to improve ventilation techniques and increase survival chances.
