Resuscitation Outcomes in the Netherlands Flashmob Questionnaire

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to gain insight in patients' experiences regarding do not resuscitate conversations and decisions. A multicentre flash mob investigation will be conducted in which data will be obtained over the course of two weeks using electronic questionnaires that patients will fill out. General demographic data and a brief quality of life assessment (EQ-5D) will be collected. Whether a DNR converstation has taken place will be noted, along with patients' experiences with this conversation. Lastly the patient will be asked about his/her expectations of survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Clinical Trial Description

Rationale: In-hospital cardiac arrest, associated with a survival to discharge of 15.0%, results in a good neurologic discharge in 9.1% - 30.0% of patients. Therefore it is recommended to engage in advanced care planning with patients, to discuss do-not-resuscitate (DNR) directives. In current knowledge, there are no published data about the prevalence of these DNR orders and associated factors in hospitalized patients in the Netherlands. Also, the conversation about DNR are sometimes perceived as awkward or untimely by patients.

Objective: The primary goal is to estimate prevalence DNR order in Dutch hospitals. A secondary goal is to assess what geographical, patient and disease factors are associated with DNR status. Furthermore patient experience in the conversation leading to DNR-orders is of interest.

Study design: A cross-sectional point prevalence study, in 10 participating hospitals of the ROUTiNE project.

Study population: Patients who plan to be admitted for more than 24 hours to the participating hospitals, aged 18 or older, who are responsive and conscious.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The prevalence of DNR orders, expressed as number per 1000 beds.

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There is no risk. Only one ten-minute interview per participant. Therefore the benefit of this study (as described in the objectives) outweigh the potential risks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
