First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether sending people who survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital to a specialized cardiac arrest center helps them recover better. About 1,618 adults will be randomly assigned to either a specialized center or the nearest hospital. Researchers will check their recovery 90 days later to see if specialty care makes a difference.
