Cardiac arrest (CA)

This study tests whether giving a drug that blocks a key inflammatory protein (TNF-alpha) within 6 hours after a cardiac arrest can help more people survive. The trial includes 208 adults who remain unconscious after their heartbeat is restored. The goal is to see if the drug imp…

This study tests whether a 12-week web-based support program can improve wellbeing in adults who survived a cardiac arrest 1 to 3 months earlier. The program includes educational modules, videos, breathing exercises, and a chat forum. Researchers will compare 120 participants who…

Researchers at Chungnam National University Hospital are studying blood and cerebrospinal fluid from adults who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and received post-resuscitation care. The goal is to map molecular changes over time and see how they relate to the severity of br…

This study tests whether improved telephone instructions for CPR can reduce the time without chest compressions when using an AED. About 80 volunteers will act as single rescuers in a simulated cardiac arrest. Half will get standard phone CPR guidance, and half will get enhanced …

This study is testing whether a wearable ECG patch, combined with AI analysis, can help doctors identify a wide range of heart conditions and risks from a single recording. The Cor360 system looks at many aspects of heart health at once, such as heart failure, rhythm problems, an…

This study examines how different hospital treatments—sedation, temperature control, and blood pressure management—after a cardiac arrest impact kidney function. Researchers will follow 3500 adults who were resuscitated from a heart attack outside the hospital. The goal is to und…

This study looks at blood samples from 682 adults who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Researchers are analyzing proteins to find new markers that could help predict recovery and understand the body's response after the heart stops. The goal is to discover potentia…

This study looks at whether a new first responder system in the Swiss canton of Zug helps people who have a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. Researchers will compare survival rates and heart rhythms before and after the system was put in place. The study includes 250 adults …

This study uses a special 3D ultrasound probe placed in the throat to see inside the heart during CPR. Researchers want to find the best location on the chest to push, so blood flows better. They will test this in 50 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
