About this study

Official title: Effect on Hemodynamics of Automated Band Chest Compression Device in Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation

To evaluate the effect of use of automated chest compression device on blood pressure in patients presenting with cardiac arrest. Higher systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures are expected.

Read the detailed description

The protocol compares arterial pressures produced by an automated self-adjusting load-distributing band device (AutoPulse™ 100, Zoll®) with those of manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Each patient will receive first manual compressions and then automated resuscitation.

Patients presenting with cardiac arrest are treated following standard advanced life support guidelines. They are intubated and ventilated, received epinephrine and defibrillation if appropriate. Manuel chest compressions are continued. An arterial catheter is placed to monitor hemodynamics continuously as we usually do in this case. Patients are included at this stage. Three blood pressure values (every 1 minutes) are recorded. Then, the automated band device is started up without any pause, following our procedure for refractory cardiac arrest. Three blood pressure values are recorded again, during automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

    Blood pressure recording before and after starting up the automated band device

What is being measured

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

  1. Diastolic blood pressures produced by manual and then by automated chest compressions will be recorded for each patient

    Measured: Instantaneously

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Systolic blood pressures produced by manual and then by automated chest compressions will be recorded for each patient

    Measured: Instantaneously

  2. Mean blood pressures produced by manual and then by automated chest compressions will be recorded for each patient

    Measured: Instantaneously

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest, run by Beaujon Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2009. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Diastolic blood pressures produced by manual and then by automated chest compressions will be recorded for each patient (time frame: Instantaneously). 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 15 Jul 2009.
