A cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body and is a medical emergency.

When this occurs outside of a hospital, the chance of survival is only 10%. This project will validate the use of “MIRACLE2” by paramedics – this is a test that measures the chance of an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) patient having suffered brain damage.

If successful, the test will help to personalise the care of OOHCA patients and ensure that we make the best clinical decisions along the patient care pathway from the 999 call to the patient’s arrival at hospital.
