About this study

Treatment of refractory cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be augmented with Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to re-establish perfusion in the absence of return of spontaneous circulation. Literature has demonstrated that ECMO initiated during advanced cardiopulmonary life support may confer superior survival rates with acceptable survival and a relatively low incidence of significant neurologic impairment. Levosimendan has not been investigated in patients with cardiac arrest who underwent Extracorporeal CPR (E-CPR). The current study aims to examine whether levosimendan use in the aforementioned patient population could improve survival and ECMO parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiogenic Shock and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complication, run by Hamad Medical Corporation at 1 site in Qatar.

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 0 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 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 Qatar. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rasha Kaddoura, Msc (44395897, rasha.kaddoura@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival to hospital discharge (time frame: 6 months). 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 16 Feb 2023.
