Trial summary

Effective chest compressions are essential to survival in an arrest patient receiving CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). A challenge in providing effective chest compressions is frequent interruption of compressions. A major cause of a recurrent interruption of chest compressions is pulse checks.

About this study

Effective chest compressions are essential to survival in an arrest patient receiving CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). A challenge in providing effective chest compressions is frequent interruption of compressions. A major cause of a recurrent interruption of chest compressions is pulse checks. Pulse checks are difficult to quickly and accurately perform in the AHA recommended time interval of under 10 seconds for reasons ranging from inexperience to body habitus. Unnecessarily long pulse checks often delay reinitiating chest compressions leading to a fall in perfusion pressure to the coronary arteries lowering the chances of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). To potentially solve the issues of evaluating the chest compression effectiveness and minimize the time interval of pulse checks, the authors have constructed a novel device that can be rapidly applied to an arresting patient and evaluate the current state of the circulatory system. The device is called the Rapid Pulse Confirmation (RPC) device. It is designed to applied over a major artery (radial, ulnar, brachial, carotid, and femoral) and detect Doppler shift of red blood cells to gauge red blood cell velocity and rate of pulsation. Feasibility testing on the device was carried out using patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Arrest and return of spontaneous circulation during cardiopulmonary bypass is predictable and provided an ideal environment to test the initial performance of a device meant to detect return of spontaneous circulation. The primary working hypothesis was that there would be no significant difference in time of detection of ROSC between the arterial line catheter and the RPC device at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. The secondary hypothesis was that there would be no difference in pulse rate reading between the arterial line catheter and the RPC device.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Circulatory Failure and Cardiac Arrest, run by Michael Kyle Ritchie at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 25 Aug 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 United States. 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?

detection of return of spontaneous circulation by experimental device vs. indwelling arterial catheter (time frame: less than 5 minutes). 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 25 Aug 2020.
