About this study

Official title: The Extension of Rapid Response Team Operation Time and Incidence of General Ward Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Incidence; A Retrospective Observational Study

Although early rapid response team was reported as a full-time operating system, similar efficacy of part-time rapid response team has been recently reported. We sought to investigate the association between the duration of rapid response team operation time and the incidence of general ward cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Read the detailed description

Rapid response team (RRT) was introduced to reduce the preventable cardiac arrest in general wards and it has been spread worldwide. RRTs usually consist of dedicated intensivists in RRT and nurse specialists in critical care.

Although RRT implementation could useful, it is not suitable for all hospital circumstances because it is required high cost and plenty of experience in critical care settings. For this reason, to minimize the RRT operating cost, the part-time RRT operation was reported. Recently similar efficacy in part-time operation RRT was reported. However, it is difficult to compare full-time and part-time RRT and no study has been reported the efficacy according to the intensity of RRT operation time.

Authors invested the incidence of general ward cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the RRT operation time; from the initial implementation to the full-time RRT operation after stepwise extension.

What participants receive

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

  • RRT operationOther

    A retrospective observational study was conducted at a 990-bed tertiary care referral teaching hospital from April 2014 to December 2020. The RRT implemented in April 2017 as a part-time RRT operating 8 hours on weekdays. In March 2018, operation time was extended to 15 hours on weekdays and finally, extended to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in February 2019.

    Impact of RRT operation on CPR incidence was retrospective analyzed without any prospective intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. General ward CPR incidence during period without RRT (rapid response team)

    Measured: at the end of period of no RRT operation. (31th March, 2017)

  2. General ward CPR incidence during period of part time RRT

    Measured: at the end of part time RRT period (28th February, 2018)

  3. General ward CPR incidence during period of extended part time RRT

    Measured: at the end of extended part time RRT period (31st January, 2019)

  4. General ward CPR incidence during period of full time RRT

    Measured: at the end of full time RRT period (31th December, 2020)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiopulmonary Arrest, run by Dong-A University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

General ward CPR incidence during period without RRT (rapid response team) (time frame: at the end of period of no RRT operation. (31th March, 2017)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Feb 2023.
