Hospital Airway Resuscitation Trial (HART)
The Hospital Airway Resuscitation Trial (HART) is studying the best way to manage breathing during a cardiac arrest (when your heart stops) in the hospital. Researchers are comparing two methods: using a supraglottic airway (a less complex device placed in the throat) versus endotracheal intubation (a tube placed through the vocal cords into the windpipe). This study aims to see which method helps patients survive and breathe on their own for more days after cardiac arrest. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) admitted to the hospital, experience an in-hospital cardiac arrest, and need help breathing. The study is currently unclear on its status.
- Study design
- This is a cluster-randomized study comparing two different airway management strategies. It plans to enroll 1060 participants.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed from cardiac arrest until 28 days after cardiac arrest to measure how many days they are alive and breathing without a ventilator.

What this trial measures
- Alive-and-ventilator free daysFrom cardiac arrest until 28-days after cardiac arrest
The number of days a patient is alive and breathing independently of invasive mechanical ventilation will be summarized by study arm using basic descriptive statistics. A patient who leaves the hospital alive and is not discharged to a hospice setting, will be considered to have lived to 28-days. A patient discharged to a hospice facility will be assessed as having died on the day of hospital discharge. A patient who is discharged on invasive mechanical ventilation, will be assumed to have remained on invasive mechanical ventilation through 28-days.
