About this study

Official title: Mechanical Versus Manual Chest Compression: A Retrospective Study in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

In this study, the investigators compared mechanical and manual chest compressions in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators retrospectively analyzed resuscitations performed over a 2-year period and compared manual and mechanical chest compressions in terms of return of spontaneous circulation, 30-day survival, and hospital discharge parameters.

Being tested
LUCAS™ 2 Chest Compression System, Manuel chest compressions by human efforts
Keywords
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Chest compression, Manuel, Mechanical
Medical subject headings
Heart Arrest

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LUCAS™ 2 Chest Compression SystemDevice

    LUCAS is a portable device designed to rule out the problems encountered during manual chest compression, capable of performing standard and continuous chest compressions at a depth of 4-5 cm and at least 100 times per minute.

  • Manuel chest compressions by human effortsOther

    In this way chest compressions will be handled by humans themselves.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Manuel chest compressionManuel chest compressions will be handled by human efforts.
Receives: Other: Manuel chest compressions by human efforts
Mechanical chest compressionIn the study, chest compression in the mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation group was performed with the Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS) Chest Compression System (LUCAS 2).
Receives: Device: LUCAS™ 2 Chest Compression System

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of the mortality on the 30th day

    Mortality from the admission to the 30th day

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Rate of the return of spontaneous circulation

    Return of spontaneous circulation at least 5 minutes

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 28 Aug 2019. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Rate of the mortality on the 30th day (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT04069377, which also lists 3 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 28 Aug 2019.
