Blood clues may predict survival after cardiac arrest rescue
NCT ID NCT07113769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking for proteins, metabolites, and platelet changes in the blood that could predict whether a person will survive after receiving ECPR, a machine that takes over heart and lung function during cardiac arrest. Researchers will study blood samples from 130 adults aged 18-70 who have had a witnessed cardiac arrest and received CPR within 5 minutes. The goal is to find objective markers that help doctors decide who is most likely to benefit from this intensive treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify which cardiac arrest patients are most likely to benefit from ECPR, leading to better survival and recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 130 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. The markers identified may not prove reliable in practice.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age between 18 and 70 years old (the age limit can be relaxed if the patient has good organ function and a good neurological prognosis after evaluation). 2. The cardiac arrest is witnessed, and bystanders perform traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and the time interval from the occurrence of cardiac arrest to the start of traditional CPR is no more than 5 minutes. 3. The causes of cardiac arrest are reversible, such as cardiogenic, pulmonary embolism, severe hypothermia, drug poisoning, trauma, acute respiratory distress syndrome, etc. 4. After 20 minutes of traditional CPR, there is no restoration of spontaneous circulation or hemodynamic instability, or the restoration of spontaneous circulation occurs, but the spontaneous heart rhythm cannot be maintained. 5. The informed consent has been signed. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS, syphilis, etc. 2. Hematological diseases, such as hematological malignancies, aplastic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), etc. 3. Malignant tumors in other systems except the hematological system. 4. Patients who have received massive plasma or platelet transfusions during hospitalization or recently.
