Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trial
— DOUBLE-DOfficial title:
"A Pilot Study Assessing Feasibility of a Randomized Trial Comparing the Effect of Early Double Sequential Defibrillation as Soon as Possible in OHCA With a Shockable Rhythm (VT/VF) Compared to Standard Defibrillation"
Some of the patients affected by Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with ventricular fibrillation (VF)/ventricular tachycardia (VT) do not respond to initial defibrillation. The survival decreases with number of defibrillations required to terminate VF/VT. In 2022, one prospective cluster randomized trial showed increased survival among (OHCA) patients in refractory VF using Double Sequential Defibrillation (DSD). To evaluate feasibility and safety this randomized pilot trial will compare the effect of double defibrillation strategy initiated as soon as possible after the first defibrillation with continued resuscitation using standard defibrillation, in patients with Out of Hospital Cardiac arrest (OHCA). The results from this pilot trial will form the basis for design of a larger multicenter survival study.
