AI could help rescuers push in the right spot during CPR
NCT ID NCT07431710
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an AI system that reads blood pressure signals during CPR to tell rescuers if they are compressing the wrong part of the chest. In about half of cardiac arrest patients, standard chest compressions accidentally press on a valve in the heart, reducing blood flow. The AI aims to guide rescuers to adjust their hand position for better results. The trial will enroll 255 adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to see if the AI can accurately detect this problem and help rescuers fix it quickly.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-Enhanced Arterial Waveform Monitor (AIR-CPR App)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple AI tool that helps rescuers personalize CPR, potentially improving survival from cardiac arrest.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on accuracy and feasibility, not yet on survival outcomes. The AI may not work in all patients, and adjusting compressions could delay care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients experiencing non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who are transported to the Emergency Department of Far Eastern Memorial Hospital. This facility is the only medical center in New Taipei City and handles approximately 30% of the city's OHCA cases, ensuring a diverse and high-volume sample of patients receiving advanced life support.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults aged 20 years or older. 2. Patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) undergoing 3.cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the emergency department. Cardiac arrest caused by non-traumatic factors. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant patients. 2. Patients with obvious signs of death. 3. Patients with a signed "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) order. 4. Patients requiring extracorporeal cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). 5. Patients requiring Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA). 6. Cardiac arrest caused by massive hemorrhage, aortic emergencies, tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, or pulmonary embolism. 7. History of severe aortic valve disease or previous aortic valve surgery. 8. Patients for whom TEE or femoral arterial catheterization is contraindicated. 9. Situations where the medical team is unable to perform TEE or femoral arterial catheterization during CPR.
