About this study
Official title: Enhancing Safety on the Edge: A Comprehensive Case Report on the Quality of CPR Performance in Via Ferrata Rescues
This study evaluates the effectiveness of CPR during via ferrata rescues, focusing on response quality and outcomes in challenging outdoor settings.
Read the detailed description
This study investigates the quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) provided during via ferrata rescues, where challenging terrain pose unique challenges to lifesaving efforts. Via ferratas are popular adventure routes that often require swift emergency responses in cases of cardiac events or accidents. Our comprehensive case report scrutinizes CPR performance in these high-risk settings, examining critical factors such as compressions quality, rescue team coordination and safety. By shedding light on the effectiveness of CPR in via ferrata scenarios, this research aims to improve safety protocols and enhance the chances of survival for adventurers facing cardiac emergencies in remote and demanding environments.

Quality of chest compressions in the sense of depth (5-6 cm)
Measured: 2 minutes
Chest recoil (cm)

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2024. 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 Czechia. 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?
Depth of chest compressions (cm) (time frame: 2 minutes). The study lists 3 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 29 Jan 2024.
