The Efficacy of Basic Life Support Education Among Teenagers

BLSGimiHun
Start date: December 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Basic life support (BLS) skills are crucial not only for healthcare workers but for all lay people as well. Timely recognition of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and the initiation of BLS by bystanders before the arrival of healthcare personnel can improve survival. There are several methods of spreading BLS skills and improve BLS skill retention among lay people. One of these methods can be educating school children. The introduction of mandatory BLS education in schools was very effective in some European countries to increase the rate of bystander BLS. The current study aims to investigate the efficacy of a BLS training and BLS curriculum among high school children in Hungary. Moreover, the investigators would like to optimise factors influencing skill retention in this first responder group and aim to compare two types of teaching methods: feedback given by the instructor or software-based feedback on the efficacy of chest compressions during the course.

Ventilation in Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Study

VECARS
Start date: May 26, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major public health problem, with around 40,000 victims each year in France. Their survival rate remains dramatically low, at less than 10%. In the event of pre-hospital cardiac arrest, rescuers perform resuscitation techniques using equipment for which they have been trained. They perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by alternating 30 chest compressions with 2 insufflations (30/2) with a manual insufflator bag. In basic life supports, insufflations should result in chest rise, but guidelines do not specify a precise volume. Recently, medical devices have been developed that enable precise measurement of ventilatory volumes. In simulation, these devices show hyperventilation in volume and frequency in mannequins. But no clinical study has analyzed insufflator bag ventilation maneuvers in real-life situations on pre-hospital cardiac arrest patients. The aim of this study is to analyze ventilation parameters in current practice in relation to standards, and the factors influencing the quality of ventilation maneuvers.

Cardiac Arrest Bundle of cARE Trial

CABARET
Start date: March 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a sudden event where the heart stops beating and a person becomes unresponsive. During this event, vital organs in the body receive no blood flow, causing them to shut down. Without intervention to restart the heart, a person effectively dies. In the UK, around 60,000 people experience cardiac arrests each year, with most occurring at home. Despite prompt emergency service response, survival rates are typically low. There is technology available that has the potential to improve survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The intervention involves three devices used together: head-up position CPR (Elegard), active compression-decompression mechanical CPR (Lucas AD), and the Impedance Threshold device (Resqpod-16). When combined, these devices can enhance blood flow during resuscitation, potentially leading to improved initial resuscitation rates and higher rates of survival with normal brain function after a cardiac arrest. A pilot study is planned to test the feasibility of using these devices. The results will inform the design of a larger study to determine if this technology can indeed improve survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.

NCT ID: NCT05689125 Completed - Clinical trials for Endotracheal Intubation

Bougies as Aid for Endotracheal Intubation Via Video Laryngoscopy During Continuous Chest Compressions

Start date: February 9, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trials is to analyze the effects of using bougies as adjuncts on the performance of endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in anesthesia residents. The main question it aims to answer is whether bougie use has a significant effect on first-attempt failure of endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy during continuous chest compressions. Participants will perform endotracheal intubation via video laryngoscopy by four methods in a randomized order in a simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation scenario on a manikin. The four methods are endotracheal intubations assisted by a railroaded bougie, assisted by a preloaded bougie, assisted by a stylet, and with no assistance. Researchers will compare the first-attempt failure rate of the four methods to see if a railroaded bougie method has a significant different first-attempt failure from that of the other three methods.

NCT ID: NCT05557032 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Pulse Control Using USG and Manual Palpation Methods in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Start date: December 25, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The final approach adopted in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) guidelines as defined by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) is to minimize the time between chest compressions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Pulse and rhythm checks are recommended between chest compressions and it is stated that this period should not exceed 10 seconds. All guidelines also state that in cases of low cardiac output or low blood pressure, even if electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythms can be obtained, pulse checks may still fail and an arterial pulse may not be felt during chest compressions. This difficulty in sensing the arterial pulse causes delays in the decision of cardiac arrest in the patient. For this reason, there are cases of cardiac arrest in which the initiation of CPR is delayed or not started at all. The most common method for checking the pulse is manual palpation. However, since it is an operator-dependent method, it is affected by the experience of the healthcare personnel, the vital values of the patient, and anatomical differences. Therefore, more objective criteria are required to detect a pulse. A clinical study of the reliability of pulse checks showed that most healthcare professionals are unable to detect the presence or absence of a pulse. Another study showed that pulse alone is not sufficient to initiate CPR, and 50% of decisions to initiate CPR based on heart rate are incorrect. Therefore, more objective criteria have been sought to detect the presence of a pulse. For this purpose, evaluations were made regarding the presence of end-tidal carbon dioxide, cardiac echo, and organized rhythm.

Digital and Face-to-face Basic Life Support Training for Teacher Candidates

Start date: September 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Today, circulatory system and heart diseases, especially hypertension, are increasing day by day, and sudden and unexpected cardiac arrests due to these diseases are more common. Therefore, in the face of cardiac arrest that can develop without a certainty of time and place, Basic Life Support (TYD) is an important intervention that can save the lives of individuals with the least damage. Training on BLS, which is compulsory for healthcare professionals, is also given to some employees selected from other institutions. From this point of view, future teacher candidates who can be a role model in the society, at the same time reflect the importance of the subject to the group they work with and continue to teach, are an important group in terms of these trainings. Therefore, in this study, digital storytelling and face-to-face applied techniques will be given to teacher candidates via social media (Whatsapp) and the impact of these trainings on the knowledge and skill levels of teacher candidates will be evaluated comparatively.

Assessment of CPR Skills Acquisition and Retention: Impact of Technology and Self-training

TrainCPR
Start date: January 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency maneuver used on a victim who is in cardiac arrest. Early and efficient CPR, with a focus on chest compressions, is a key element in increasing victim survival. The success of resuscitation does not only depend on the immediate initiation of the maneuvers, but also on the quality with which they are applied. However, there is an obvious gap in the knowledge of these maneuvers. This study aims to analyze the acquisition and retention/maintenance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills and the impact of the use of technology and autonomous training in medical students.

Influence of Posture and Positioning in Rescuer's Fatigue and Quality of Chest Compressions

QualityCPR
Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency maneuver used in a victim who is in cardiac arrest. Early and efficient CPR, with special focus on chest compressions, is a key element to improve patient's survival. The focus for success in resuscitation should not only be the rapid onset of the maneuvers, but also the quality with which they are applied. There are several ways to improve CPR quality, taking training an important role and being relevant for skills acquisition and retention, for both healthcare professionals and laypeople. American Heart Association (AHA) recently recommended the use of technology-enhanced simulators and learning management systems to tailor the training and promote retention. Both training methodologies and support devices are built considering fundamental research, aiming the improvement of patient's outcomes. Based on these scientific developments, guidelines are established focusing on several aspects related to resuscitation, presenting variants of the procedures and considering the profile of the victim. Therefore, studying the quality of CPR and the factors that influence the rescuer's performance is very relevant. The study of fatigue in CPR maneuvers has appeared in the literature mainly after the recent updates to the guidelines. In addition to intrinsic fatigue, there are other extrinsic factors to the CPR maneuver that influence its quality, such as the posture and the position of the rescuer, among others. Most published studies investigate the influence of a single factor in CPR quality, as opposed to the combination of the above-described factors in correlation with rescuer fatigue. We consider this void in literature an opportunity to explore how these factors correlate among them, and how they influence CPR performance and quality. We anticipate that the results from this multi-centre, international project will promote rescuer awareness to specific posture/positioning that influence their fatigue and performance, through the formal development of recommendations to, ultimately, promote high quality CPR. It is expected that this study will provide translational validity, as it is expected to result in changes in current clinical practice.
