Heart ArrestNCT02780050
Influence of Core Muscles Activation Using Physical Fitness on the Performance of Chest Compression
A study testing core muscle activation using physical fitness in people with Heart Arrest, run by Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.
Trial summary
Chest compression, a key component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), has a major role for survival of cardiac arrest patients. According to 2015 American heart association (AHA) guideline, rescuers provide high quality CPR to adult cardiac arrest patients including 5 to 6 cm depth and 100 to 120 beat per minute… Read more about this study

About this study
Chest compression, a key component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), has a major role for survival of cardiac arrest patients. According to 2015 American heart association (AHA) guideline, rescuers provide high quality CPR to adult cardiac arrest patients including 5 to 6 cm depth and 100 to 120 beat per minute rate chest compression.
However, in CPR situation, chest compression depth and rate vary according to provider's muscle strength. In other words, the individual difference of the degree of physical activity will make the different result for CPR. So, the investigators hypothesize that the core muscles activation using physical fitness improves the quality of chest compression and the quality of CPR, eventually.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
core muscle activation using physical fitnessOther
2 instructors, they had physical therapy (PT) certificate, take an exam for subject's muscle strength of each muscle. After that time, subjects take a rest for 10 minutes. Researchers educate to subjects for high quality CPR including 5 to 6cm compression depth, 100 to 120 beat per minute (bpm) rate, complete chest recoil. Subjects perform chest compression to manikin with skill reporting system during 4min under guidance of 110 bpm metronome sound (first chest compression). After 1st chest compression, subjects take a rest during an hour and carry out PT. PT consist of 30 second plank for 3 sets, 12 times bridge for 3 sets and 20 times leg extension for 3 sets. Subjects take a rest during 30 seconds between sets, 1 minute every 3 sets.
After PT completion, subjects take a rest during 10 minutes, and then perform 2nd chest compression in the same way of 1st chest compression. Researchers record subject's chest compression depth and rate in 1st and 2nd chest compression.

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?
mean chest compression depth (time frame: 1 Day). 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 13 Jun 2016.
