Official title: The Impact of Real Time Ventilation Feedback on Ventilation Rate and Tidal Volume During Cardiac Arrest.
Run by University Hospital, Ghent · NCT06528704 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests if giving real-time feedback on breathing during cardiac arrest helps improve the effectiveness of ventilation for patients in need of resuscitation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who can be intubated.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with traumatic cardiac arrest or those who cannot be intubated will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of real-time ventilation feedback on the ventilation rate and tidal volume during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Initially, patients are ventilated without feedback while a flow sensor records the delivered ventilation. In the subsequent cycle, the ventilation feedback device displays real-time data on the ventilation volume and rate, allowing for adjustments. The goal is to determine if this feedback improves ventilation effectiveness during resuscitation efforts.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the quality of ventilation during cardiac arrest, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of real-time feedback during ventilation in cardiac arrest is novel, similar studies in other emergency settings have shown promising results.
