Trial summary

Context: Chest compressions represent an important physical effort leading to fatigue and cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality degradation. Despite a known harmful effect of chest compressions interruptions, current guidelines still recommend provider switch every 2 minutes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of a Feedback Device, CPRmeter®, on Chest Compression Quality During Extend Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation. A Manikin Study.

Context: Chest compressions represent an important physical effort leading to fatigue and cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality degradation. Despite a known harmful effect of chest compressions interruptions, current guidelines still recommend provider switch every 2 minutes. Feedback impact on chest compressions quality during an extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation remains to be assessed.

Study design: simulated prospective monocentric randomized crossover trial. Participants and methods: Sixty professionals rescuers of the pre-hospital care unit of University Hospital of Caen (doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers) are enrolled to performed 10 minutes of continuous chest compression on manikin (ResusciAnne®, Laerdal), twice, with and without a feedback device (CPRmeter®). Correct compression score (the main criterion) is defined by reached target of rate, depth and leaning at the same time (recorded continuously).

Hypothesis: Feedback device delay fatigue effect arises during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correct compression score

    Correct compression score is defined by reached target of rate, depth and leaning at the same time

    Measured: 24h

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Decrease time of 30% of correct compression score

    Measured: 24h

  2. chest compression deep

    Measured: 24h

  3. chest compression rate

    Measured: 24h

  4. percentage of chest compression without leaning

    Measured: 24h

  5. percentage of chest compression with correct deep

    Measured: 24h

  6. percentage of correct chest compression rate

    Measured: 24h

  7. participants' fatigue (Borg's scale)

    Measured: 24h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest, run by University Hospital, Caen 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 23 Dec 2014. 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?

Correct compression score (time frame: 24h). 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 23 Dec 2014.
