Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are non-intubated adults aged 18–75 who suffer a non-traumatic in-hospital cardiac arrest at Stony Brook University Hospital and meet the study's airway and height requirements.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are already intubated, have valid do-not-attempt-resuscitation orders or opt-out bracelets, have traumatic causes of arrest (including drowning or electrocution), obvious signs of irreversible death, active gag reflex, significant airway obstruction, or specific esophageal or facial/neck conditions are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

The VENTOR Clinical Study is an interventional device trial testing the Ventor Airway System for short-term ventilation in non-breathing adults during in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation and respiratory arrests. Eligible participants are adults aged 18 to 75 who experience a non-traumatic in-hospital cardiac arrest and meet airway and height criteria; patients already intubated or with do-not-attempt-resuscitation orders are excluded. The device is placed to deliver short-term ventilation support during resuscitation efforts with a primary focus on initial safety and effectiveness outcomes. Enrollment and procedures take place at Stony Brook University Hospital under sponsorship from CoLabs Medical.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the device could provide a fast alternative airway to deliver short-term ventilation during CPR when endotracheal intubation is not feasible, potentially improving oxygenation and resuscitation outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While supraglottic airway devices and other alternative airway techniques have been used during CPR with mixed results, this specific Ventor system is novel and is undergoing initial safety and effectiveness testing.
