Filter by:This study will collect and characterize ventilator use during patient care with a ZOLL 731 Series ventilator in a pre-hospital setting.
This international, multicenter cohort study aims to investigate outcomes after treatment with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) during cardiac arrest.
RACE-CARS is a real-world cluster-randomized trial designed to evaluate a multifaceted community and health systems intervention aimed to improve outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. RACE-CARS will enroll 50 counties in North Carolina that are estimated to have a total of approximately 20,000 patients with cardiac arrest over a 4-year intervention period. County "clusters" will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to intervention versus usual care. The trial duration is 7 years, which includes a 6-month start-up (including recruitment and randomization) period, a 12-month intervention training phase, a 4-year intervention period, a 12-month follow-up for to assess quality of life in survivors of OHCA, and a 6-month close-out and data analysis period.
This study aims to evaluate the electrophysiological properties of the heart conduction system in patients with (increased risk of) ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) and sudden cardiac arrest, and in a control cohort. The electrophysiological properties will be measured with the relatively new technique ECG-Imaging (ECGI). Moreover, clinical data of subjects will be gathered. By combining the data from the data gathering and the results of ECGI, the investigators hope to increase mechanistic understanding of and risk stratification for VTAs. The investigators aim to be able to identify patients at risk of an arrhythmic event, and aim for better treatment strategies in the future.
This is a study to compare the new ShuttleScope with the standard Macintosh Laryngoscope
Compare the performance of the Reconfirmation Analysis Mode algorithm to the performance goals recommended by the American Heart Association.
This study aims to evaluate the electrophysiological properties of the heart conduction system in patients with unexplained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and/or ventricular fibrillation (VF), in patients with specific genetic mutations regarding sudden cardiac death or sudden cardiac arrest, in their family members and in a control cohort. The electrophysiological properties will be measured with the relatively new technique ECG-Imaging (ECGI). Also a National Dutch registry for patients with unexplained polymorphic VT and/or VF and their family members will be created. By combining the data from the registry and the results of ECGI, The investigators hope to identity risk markers for patients at higher risk for apparently idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, and use these for an adapted flow chart for the 'general'population of patients at risk for unexplained polymorphic VT and/or VF. The investigators aim to be able to identify patients before the first arrhythmic event, and aim for better treatment strategies in the future.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of Neu2000KWL, a neuroprotectant, in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and receiving therapeutic hypothermia.
It's so important to recognize ventricular fibrillation in cardiac arrest and defibrillation early. At the same time Research findings have identified high-quality CPR with minimum interruption is critical to the success of defibrillation therapy. Both the guidelines by American Heart Association and the guidelines by European Resuscitation Council emphasize the importance of minimizing interruptions in chest compressions, specifically, duration of the pre-shock and post-shock pauses. So AHA indicate that there will be a new algorithm of VF during chest compression, which has high sensitivity and specificity. And the investigators can identify VF and defibrillate earlier. The aim of this study is to verify that if Sherlock algorithm of Philips MRx monitor/defibrillator can identify shockable rhythms during chest compression accurately.
We hypothesized that the video-laryngoscopes are beneficial for intubation of pediatric manikins while performing CPR. In the current study, we compared effectiveness of two video-laryngoscopes (the Coopdech video Laryngoscope portable VLp-100 and the Flexible Videoendoscope: ATMOS Scope) and optical-laryngoscope (the AirTraq) during resuscitation with uninterrupted chest compressions using an child manikin.
