Trial summary

Inexperienced rescuers may encounter severe problems in an unconscious patient in opening and maintaining an upper airway patent. Gaining evidence which ventilation technique may be most efficient and safe is of utmost importance to potentially improve outcome during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Read more about this study

About this study

Inexperienced rescuers may encounter severe problems in an unconscious patient in opening and maintaining an upper airway patent. Gaining evidence which ventilation technique may be most efficient and safe is of utmost importance to potentially improve outcome during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Read the detailed description

During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) ventilation has to be efficient to provide oxygen to the body and safe to avoid potentially fatal regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia and excessive stomach inflation. Basically trained rescuers have severe problems to ventilate a patient during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This study intends to compare three commonly employed ventilation techniques. First, the traditionally bag-valve mask ventilation is commonly taught during CPR course, despite recent evidence suggesting low efficiency rates. Second, the laryngeal mask and the laryngeal tube supraglottic airways have shown high efficiency and safety in previous studies in the hand of experienced clinicians. Until now it is unclear if basically trained rescuers are better in ventilation with bag valve mask ventilation or the supraglottic airway devices, the laryngeal mask and the laryngeal tube. The purpose of this study is to compare in anesthetised patients airway management and ventilation with bag-valve mask, laryngeal mask and laryngeal tube.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bag-Valve-Mask-Ventilation (Ambu Facemask), Laryngeal Mask (Laryngeal Mask Airway Supreme) and Laryngeal Tube (Laryngeal Tube LT-S-D (VBM)) in people with Cardiopulmonary Arrest, run by Krankenhaus Bruneck at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 17 Oct 2011. 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 Italy. 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?

Airway Management time until first effective Ventilation (time frame: 90 sec). 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 17 Oct 2011.
