Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: This study aims to find out if the current way of performing chest compressions during resuscitation for patients who have suffered a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital is affecting their chances of recovery. Recent research suggests that more than half of these patients receive chest compressions near their aortic valve, which might block blood flow and make their condition worse. We will use a special imaging technique called transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during resuscitation to see if compressions near the aortic valve impact patient outcomes. Methods: We will conduct a study with patients who have suffered a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital and are receiving TEE during resuscitation in the emergency department. Some patients will not be included in the study, such as those who recover quickly before the TEE is done, those who need other treatments before they recover, those with an unclear compression site, or those with poor or missing TEE images. We will divide the patients into two groups: those with compressions near their aortic valve and those without. We will collect information on the patients, the TEE recordings, the resuscitation process, and important time points. We will mainly look at whether the patients recover and maintain a steady heartbeat. We will also examine other factors like their carbon dioxide levels, whether they recover at all, if they survive to be admitted to the hospital, if they survive to be discharged, and if they have good brain function when they leave the hospital. We plan to have 37 patients in each group for accurate results.
