Filter by:The scientific goals of the project: 1. ultrasound assessment of the incidence of clotting in deep veins in patients after cardiac arrest during resuscitation and after the declaration of death; comparison to the incidence of clotting in the heart cavities 2. comparison of resuscitation results in patients with and without clotting detected in deep veins during resuscitation 3. determining the time from cardiac arrest to the occurrence of clotting in deep veins; comparison to the time until clotting occurs in the heart cavities Confirmation of the usefulness of the ultrasound-detected clotting in deep veins during resuscitation in assessing the severity of cardiac arrest and the prognosis of resuscitation, which is the aim of the project, will have an impact on international guidelines for determining the prognosis and potential futility of resuscitation.
The aim of this study was to determine the independent association of frailty with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and predictive factors in patients triggering code blue response
In this manikin-based simulation study the impact of tele-support during a simulated pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest scenario on emergency medical technicians' guideline adherence, on gaze behavior as well as on performance of resuscitation management and cognitive load will be analyzed.
Syncope is a common presenting condition. Pacemaker implantation can significantly reduce syncope recurrences in reflex syncope. However, despite careful selection, a substantial proportion of patients treated with pacemakers suffer recurrences of syncope. It is thought that a pronounced vasodepressor component may hinder the efficacy of pacing in patients, preventing adequate cerebral perfusion during the reflex, thus relativizing the anti-bradycardia function of the pacemaker to prevent syncope. It is hypothesised that the time elapsed from the actual loss of consciousness to the asystole recorded on the ECG during Tilt Table Test may be predictive in terms of response to pacemaker therapy, so this parameter becomes the subject of the present study.
The goal of this observational study is to explore the optimisation and integration of a drone-delivered Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system into the pre-hospital response to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The study is being conducted by the University of Warwick and Welsh Ambulance Service National Health Service Trust (both in the UK) There are two separate packages of work. In work package 1 the investigators will interview people who have been involved in emergency (999) calls for cardiac arrest, asking them about their experiences with the call-handler and how they feel they might have responded if they had received an AED that had been delivered by a flying drone. In work package 2 the investigators will conduct simulated cardiac arrests. The participants in the study will make an emergency (999) call to a trained call-handler and, once the cardiac arrest is identified during the call, a drone will be activated from a distant location and fly up to 2km to the test site and deliver an AED. The investigators will record how long it takes to retrieve and attach the AED, and ask the participants for their views about the interaction with the call-handler, AED and drone.
The trial collects and analyzes data from Cardiac Arrest Centres in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate the feasibility of using doppler point-of-care ultrasound on the femoral artery with a portable device to assess the presence of a pulse in patients suffering from cardiac arrest in the out-of-hospital environment. The main question is how often researchers are successful in acquiring the necessary ultrasound signal in the out-of-hospital environment.
This study aims to compare the effect of conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and CPR training with added virtual reality (VR) on trainee self-efficacy.
This study aims to collect the post-cardiac arrest patients with ICU admission.
To provide detailed information on long-term outcomes in relation to potential neuroprotection and improvements in recovery for different targets of sedation, temperature, and pressure management in post out of hospital cardiac arrest survivors at 6 and 12 months. In addition, the impact of caring for a post OHCA survivor will be explored.
