Trial summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether healthcare professionals trained in CPR can deliver more effective ventilations during CPR using the Handivent, a novel turbine-driven ventilator as compared to bag-valve-mask ventilations, using a manikin model. Read more about this study

About this study

The objective of this study is to determine whether healthcare professionals trained in CPR can deliver more effective ventilations during CPR using the Handivent, a novel turbine-driven ventilator as compared to bag-valve-mask ventilations, using a manikin model. The investigators believe the Handivent will deliver a more accurate respiratory rate and tidal volume, with lower intrathoracic pressure during CPR.

Read the detailed description

Previous studies have shown that increased respiratory rate during CPR inversely correlates with blood pressure. Higher respiratory rates increase intrathoracic pressure, which in turn decreases venous return to the heart.

In one previous study, the authors looked at 3 groups of 7 pigs, ventilated at 12 (100% O2), 30 (100%), and 30 (5% CO2, 95% 02) breaths per minute during cardiac arrest, and showed increased mortality with increasing respiratory rate. Survival rates were 6/7, 1/7, and 1/7 respectively. The results of this study led to changing the CPR guidelines in 2005 to include fewer ventilations.

The authors also observed 13 cases of CPR in the field and noted EMS personnel delivered breaths at an average of 32 bpm.

In 2012, a similar study to the current study under proposal compared a pressure-limited, pneumatically driven ventilator to bag-valve-mask in simulated CPR, using medical student volunteers. That study did not show a significant difference in tidal volumes; however, they did not record respiratory rates or mean intrathoracic pressures. Furthermore, that ventilator was pneumatically -driven and pressure limited, whereas the ventilator we propose to study is turbine-driven and can be volume/time triggered.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory rate

    The study will measure the respiratory rate delivered during the 8-minute CPR scenario

    Measured: RR will be the average RR during the CPR simulation, which is 8-minutes in duration.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tidal volume

    The study will measure the tidal volume delivered during the 8-minute CPR scenario

    Measured: Average Vt during CPR simulation, which is 8 minutes in duration

  2. Peak Inspiratory pressure

    the study will measure the peak inspiratory pressure delivered during the 8-minute CPR scenario

    Measured: Average PIP delivered during CPR simulation, which is 8 minutes in duration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Handivent Ventilator in people with Cardiac Arrest and Hyperventilation, run by University of Utah.

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 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 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Respiratory rate (time frame: RR will be the average RR during the CPR simulation, which is 8-minutes in duration.). 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 NCT02743299, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2016.
