New CPR breathing monitor tested in ambulances
NCT ID NCT04988906
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device that gives paramedics real-time feedback on how well they are breathing for a patient during CPR after a cardiac arrest. Researchers compared breathing quality before and after using the device in over 400 patients. The goal was to see if the device helps paramedics deliver the right amount of air during resuscitation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Zoll Accuvent Ventilation Monitor (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help paramedics deliver better breathing support during CPR, potentially improving survival chances for cardiac arrest patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed before-and-after study, not a randomized trial. The device may not work well in all real-world emergency settings, and better ventilation does not guarantee better survival.
