First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether vasopressin works better than the standard drug epinephrine during CPR for newborns with no heartbeat or very low heart rate. Researchers will compare how quickly the heart recovers and whether babies survive without brain injury. Only 8 infants are enrolled, making this an early safety and feasibility trial.
