Basic Knowledge of CPR Among Close Relatives of Heart Patients-check Status Quo and Attemp to Establish a Potential Plan to Implement This Knowledge
A study testing course for learning CPR in people with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, run by Meir Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.
Trial summary
Cardiac arrest is a public health problem and is the leading cause of death in many parts of the world. Cardiac arrest can occur inside the hospital and outside it. In the United States and Canada occur in approximately 350,000 cases of cardiac arrest a year , who receive CPR , Half of them outside the hospital. Read more about this study

About this study
Cardiac arrest is a public health problem and is the leading cause of death in many parts of the world.
Cardiac arrest can occur inside the hospital and outside it. In the United States and Canada occur in approximately 350,000 cases of cardiac arrest a year , who receive CPR , Half of them outside the hospital.

Treatment of cardiac arrest is performing Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation.
Performing compressions is the essential part of performing CPR until the arrival of defibrillation.
Efforts are being made to simplify the implementation of basic CPR and make it accessible to everyone. Method "hands only CPR" offers CPR with compressions only without ventilations, Studies have shown a similar survival rate between" hands only CPR" method and CPR with ventilations.
Patient's chances of survival are higher if a bystander begins performing CPR until trained medical staff arrives.
Chances of survival decreases by 7-10% every passing minute past moment of collapse if not performed CPR.
MDA survey carried out in 1984-5 reported at the start of CPR by a bystander at 8% Another survey in 2000 reported 14%, In a recent study in Jerusalem found a rate of only 15% of performing compressions by bystanders- A very low rate compared to 33% reported in the United States 41.3% in Japan and 44.9% in Denmark.
The average time of arrival of the medical team in Israel is 10.3 minutes, so it is very important to begin performing CPR by those present before the arrival of medical staff.
Most cases of cardiac arrest were the result of a previous cardiac disease, Therefore patients with cardiac disease are at higher risk of cardiac arrest and cardiac death.
Place cardiac arrest is 72% percent of the time at home, and the likely presence of family members.
The general population should know basic resuscitation to save a life, knowledge is needed especially among families of heart patients who are way more likely that such an event will occur in their presence.
Therefore, one can relate to families of heart patients dedicated to increasing population as a basic knowledge of CPR.
There is no other organized plan to study family members of patients with heart disease basic knowledge of CPR Despite the importance of it Attempts have been published in previous studies from around the world to create a focus group study of CPR among close relatives of heart patients. An attempt was made to incorporate as part of the proposed cardiac rehabilitation patients after MI Through self-study kit given at discharge from the hospital and more Difficult to evaluate the success of these efforts over the long term, but short-term study of short workshops yielded sufficient knowledge about basic CPR This study should serve as a catalyst as a first step towards building a suitable program nationwide and hopefully save many lives

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
course for learning CPRBehavioural
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| questionnaires | No intervention | Questionnaires will be distributed to families of heart patients to test the theoretical knowledge to perform CPR The questionnaires were distributed to internal, cardiology clinics and clinic T by a doctor, Paramedic or medical student. The family will be asked to fill out the questionnaire independently. The questionnaires will be distributed in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and English The research questionnaire will include questions about able to perform basic CPR |
| to participate in a short course for learning CPR | Experimental | : The investigators will offer patients and their relatives to participate in a short course for learning CPR.
Relatives will receive a "prescription" Containing a proposal for participation in the course
Prescription will be awarded in four places:
-.Family physicians as a suggestion during a routine visit / presentation of cardiac problem
* Heart Rehabilitation Institute - "cardionegev"
* Doctors internal medicine department as part of a patient's discharge letter with heart disease
* Doctors in cardiology clinic The prescription will be accompanied by several minutes of explanation about the program and its importance The investigators consider the level of responsiveness and participation, find out which arm yielded the highest number of participants (actual turnout of the total prescriptions distributed) And how to expand their activities Receives: Behavioral: course for learning CPR |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
CPR knowledge from self-administrated questionnaire
Measured: up to one month before CPR course
CPR knowledge from self-administrated questionnaire
Measured: 3 months after CPR course

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing course for learning CPR in people with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, run by Meir Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 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 10 Nov 2020. 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 Israel. 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?
CPR knowledge from self-administrated questionnaire (time frame: up to one month before CPR course). 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?
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 10 Nov 2020.
