Clinical Trial Summary

Sudden cardiac death is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cardiac arrest requires prompt intervention by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The resuscitation guidelines are the current recommendations for CPR and are revised by expert panels such as the "European Resuscitation Council (ERC)". Up to now, a parameter for assessing the quality of CPR is missing and further monitoring methods are urgently needed. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a portable method for measuring regional oxygen levels in the brain. Recent clinical trials suggest that cerebral oxygenation measured by NIRS may correlate with survival and outcome after cardiac arrest. The investigators propose that NIRS technology may not only be suitable to determine or predict the outcome of the patients, but could also be a useful tool to guide the CPR providers to optimize the CPR techniques and guide the individual treatments/interventions. The present study was therefore designed to determine if NIRS guided CPR with the aim to optimize NIRS values is superior compared to the current standard practice according to published CPR guidelines (return of spontaneous circulation [ROSC] rate, short and long-term cerebral performance).

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Enrollment: 360
• Est. completion date: May 5, 2023
• Est. primary completion date: May 22, 2022
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with a cardiac arrest from the age of 18 years (in and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest)

Exclusion Criteria:

• post-traumatic cardiac arrest
• non-fitting NIRS sensor (size)

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Cardiac Arrest
• Cardiopulmonary Arrest With Successful Resuscitation
• Cerebral Oxygenation
• Heart Arrest

Intervention

Combination Product:
• Cerebral oximetry (near infrared) based CPR-Algorithm
If NIRS values do not increase over time until ROSC (target: >40 % after 10 min), interventions are suggested in a modified CPR/NIRS algorithm.
