What is being measured

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

  1. chest compressions effectiveness

    the percentage of correct chest compressions relative to the total number of chest compressions

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Depth

    correct depth according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Pressure point

    correct pressure point according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Complete pressure release

    Complete pressure release measure by manikin software

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Rate of chest compressions

    correct chest compressions rate according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

    Measured: 1 day

  5. hands-off time

    defined as the sum of all periods during which no hand was placed on the chest minus time used for ventilation.

    Measured: 1 day

  6. tidal volume

    volume of air delivered in a single rescue breath in milliliters

    Measured: 1 day

  7. ventilation rate

    respiratory rate per minute

    Measured: 1 day

  8. minute-volume

    minute volume ventilation

    Measured: 1 day

  9. number of gastric inflations

    number of gastric inflations

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Manual chest compressions and ARM chest compressions in people with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2016. 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 Poland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lukasz Szarpak, PhD (500186225, lukasz.szarpak@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

chest compressions effectiveness (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT02703103, which also lists 2 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 6 Apr 2016.
