What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. cardiac output

    built-in ultrasound software (Philips QLAB 3D quantification advance, Philips Healthcare, USA, speckle tracking echocardiography (STE,Speckle tracking echocardiography)

    Measured: check cardiac output while CPR(Periprocedural)(after TEE insertion) in head up and supine position

  2. stroke volume

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transesophageal ultrasound in people with Cardiac Arrest (CA), run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 2 sites in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cardiac output (time frame: check cardiac output while CPR(Periprocedural)(after TEE insertion) in head up and supine position). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07002775, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2025.
