New protocol aims to halve deadly rearrests after cardiac arrest
NCT ID NCT07239908
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new step-by-step care plan for paramedics to use after an adult's heart is restarted following a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The plan includes careful monitoring of oxygen, blood pressure, and fluids to prevent the heart from stopping again. About 318 adults will take part, and the goal is to see if the plan reduces rearrests and helps more people survive to leave the hospital.
