About this study
Official title: CPR Education for Families of Cardiac Patients Before Hospital Discharge
Prompt delivery of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial determinant of survival for many victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), yet bystander CPR is provided in less than one third of witnessed SCA events. A number of barriers to bystander CPR training have been identified including time and cost of the training course. Since the large majority of arrest events occur in the home environment, studies have suggested that providing CPR training to family members of hospitalized cardiac patients may serve as a useful approach to address an environment in which bystander CPR is frequently not provided. Utilizing an existing in-hospital program to train adult family members, the investigators will assess the skills of those who learn CPR through two different educational methods: a mobile app and video self-instruction (VSI).
Read the detailed description
The long term goal of the investigators work is to implement real world CPR training strategies that match training locales with at-risk populations, maximize resuscitation skill retention, and promote willingness to act. To accomplish this, the investigators will empower stakeholders at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) and local area hospitals to develop local implementation approaches, using either volunteer hospital personnel or paid research assistants as training proctors. These stakeholders will be studied as a research subset. The training proctors will educate family members or friends of patients at risk for cardiac arrest using a mobile application "app" or VSI kit (RCT), and empower them with the lifesaving skill of CPR. The investigators will follow up with the study subjects and conduct CPR skills tests 6 to 12 months from the time of training to assess whether the subjects retained their skills or if they had an opportunity to use the skills that they learned. The investigators will also gather information on how the subjects would like to be encouraged to practice their skills. The investigators will send a reminder notification every two months following training, to encourage subjects to refresh their training skills. At the follow-up skills test at 6 to 12 months, the investigators will administer a survey to assess whether the prompting encouraged the subjects to practice their skills. Additionally the investigators will encourage the individuals trained in-hospital to share the kit or mobile app with others. The investigators will follow-up with those who are identified as secondary trainees to assess the environment in which secondary training took place.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Chest compression depth
Depth of chest compression performed by the subject, recorded using the Laerdal SimPad®. This metric will be measured in millimeters (mm). This outcome measure will be collected by research coordinators during 6-month in-home follow-up visits.
Measured: 6 months
Chest compression rate
Rate of chest compressions performed by the subject, recorded using the Laerdal SimPad®. This metric will be measured as the number of compressions performed in a 2 minute window. This outcome measure will be collected by research coordinators during 6-month in-home follow-up visits.
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Secondary CPR training rates
Calculate the number of secondary trainees based on study participant self-reporting (via survey) collected during the 6-month follow-up.
Measured: 6 months
Incidence of bystander CPR provided by subjects
Using 6 month and 12 month follow-up surveys, subjects will be asked if they had an opportunity to use their CPR skills in a real-life situation and whether or not they performed CPR in the aforementioned situation.
Measured: 6-12 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Prompt delivery of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial determinant of survival for many victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), yet bystander CPR is provided in less than one third of witnessed SCA events. A number of barriers to bystander CPR training have been identified including time and cost of the training course. Since the large majority of arrest events occur in the home environment, studies have suggested that providing CPR training to family members of hospitalized cardiac patients may serve as a useful approach to address an environment in which bystander CPR is frequently not provided. Utilizing an existing in-hospital program to train adult family members, the investigators will assess the skills of those who learn CPR through two different educational methods: a mobile app and video self-instruction (VSI).

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?
Chest compression depth (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02548793, which also lists 18 linked publications.
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 Jan 2019.
