New study tracks Real-Life CPR breathing techniques
NCT ID NCT04237727
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observed how emergency medical teams give breaths to adults suffering cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Using a portable device, researchers measured the volume, frequency, and pressure of ventilations during CPR. The goal was to describe current practices, not to test a new treatment.
