Tiny device reveals Real-Life breath volumes in cardiac arrest
NCT ID NCT06580652
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study measures how much air actually reaches the lungs when rescuers give breaths by hand during cardiac arrest. It compares two common airway devices—tracheal tubes and laryngeal mask airways—using a small flow sensor. The 30 participants are already part of a larger trial (AIRWAYS-3). The goal is to understand real-world performance, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help improve resuscitation techniques by showing which airway device delivers more effective breaths during cardiac arrest.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study (30 participants) nested within a larger trial, so results may not apply broadly. It measures volumes but does not test patient outcomes directly.
