About this study

Hypothermic resuscitation is proven to be benefit to the cardiac origin cardiac arrest patients for it improve brain recovery dramatically. However, traditional cooling devices and methods, most external cooling methods, include ice blanket, cooling helmet, or ice packing lower the body temperature slowly or inefficiently which make many emergency physicians hesitate to perform hypothermic resuscitation. To improve and promote the practice of hypothermia resuscitation, more efficient temperature control method is necessary. We conduct this clinical trial to evaluate the safety and feasibility of internal cooling catheter and temperature regulatory device, which is approved by FDA in neurologic ICU for temperature control, in the cardiac arrest patients.

Read the detailed description

We recruited successful resuscitated nontraumatic cardiac arrest adult patients in the emergency department to evaluate the safety and feasibility of application those invasive internal temperature regulator devices. Internal cooling catheter, "ICY" , and thermal regulator device, "Coolguard 2000" are applied to the patients from femoral vein. WE definite 4 stages according to the temperature during the clinical trial: "The Cooling Phase", "Hypothermia phase", "Rewarming phase", and "Postrewarming phase". The temperature is lowed or elevated by the rate 0.5C/hr during the Cooling and Rewarming Phase, and it is maintained 33 +/- 1 C during hypothermia phase for 12 hours according to the comment of ACLS. To understand the safety and feasibility, regular blood sampling, bedside EEG and vital monitors, and special sheets are designed to document the every reasons, time points or every clinical events during hypothermia therapy. The patients is observed until rewarming finish for 48 hours or till death if expired during post-resuscitation hypothermia therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ICY catheter, Thermoguard device in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Chiung Yuan Hsu, MD (886-2-23123456 ext. 2831, dtemer01@yahoo.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

complications and feasibility of endovascular cooling device. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Nov 2005.
