Clinical Trial: The Application of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: The Lazarus-PEEP Trial.

U.S., April 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06939335) titled 'The Application of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: The Lazarus-PEEP Trial.' on March 31.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves outcomes for adults who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a condition where the heart suddenly stops beating. PEEP is used during ventilation, which may enhance oxygen levels by keeping the airways open throughout CPR.

This study aims to determine if using PEEP during CPR helps restart the heart more effectively, improves survival rates,...
