Filter by:This study is a parallel group multicentre investigator-initiated clinical randomised controlled superiority trial that will include a total of 214 survivors of OHCA. Participants will to be randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio to either a intervention consisting of a comprehensive initiated tailored rehabilitation intervention focusing on supporting RTW plus usual care compared to usual care alone.
This is a pragmatic, two-arm, open-label, prospective stepped-wedge cluster randomized control trial (SW-CRCT) looking to evaluate early intramuscular (IM) epinephrine in the management of pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA).
In Germany, 70.000 to 100.000 patients suffer from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) every year. More than half of these are due to cardiac causes. Despite the medical progress over the last decades, rates of survival with good neurological outcome remain low. For many below-mentioned issues, no adequate evidence from randomized trials is available. Therefore, a systematic and standardized recording of the pre-clinical, clinical and post-clinical treatment course and of the clinical outcomes of OHCA patients is essential to improve patient care. Aim of the German Cardiac Arrest Registry (G-CAR) is to achieve a better understanding of the disease entity, leading to an optimized treatment of OHCA patients. The recorded data include information on demographic and psychosocial aspects, course of the disease, clinical, laboratory and other examinations as well as treatment modalities in patients with OHCA due to a cardiac cause.
People who suffered a cardiac arrest are often have cognitive impairments. In this study the investigators test the effectiveness of an intervention, combining direct training and metacognitive training, in a single case experimental design (SCED).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of institutionalized care program of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Background: For patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) at the intensive care unit (ICU), oxygen therapy plays an important role in post resuscitation care. During hospitalisation, a lot of these patients occur with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Currently a wide oxygen target is recommended but no evidence regarding optimal treatment targets to minimise the prevalence of PAH exists. Methods: The RELIEPH trial is a substudy within the BOX (Blood pressure and OXygenation targets in post resuscitation care) trial. It is a single-center, parallel-group randomised controlled clinical trial. 300 patients with OHCA hospitalised at the ICU are allocated to one of the two oxygenation interventions, either a restrictive- (9-10 kPa) or liberal (13-14 kPa) oxygen target both within the recommended range. The primary outcome is the fraction of time with pulmonary hypertension (mPAP >25 mmHg) out of total time with mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay among survivors, lactate clearance, right ventricular failure, 30 days mortality and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level 48 hours from randomisation. Discussion: This study hypothesises that a liberal target of oxygen reduces the time with PAH during mechanical ventilation compared to a restrictive oxygen target in patients with OHCA at the ICU. When completed, this study hopes to provide new knowledge regarding which oxygen target is beneficial for this group of patients.
Randomized-controlled trial and microbiome assessment to understand the risk-to-benefit ratio of prophylactic antibiotics (Ceftriaxone) vs placebo in patients with pneumonia and inflammation after cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a public health problem, affecting 50,000 people per year in France. Intervention time (initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced CPR) are associated with a better prognosis. Despite this, the latest published data show a very low overall survival (5%). Our territory has only three centers distributed hospitals with both a 24-hour coronary angiography platform and an intensive care unit. Finally, although 60% of ACEHs receive coronary angiography in the Île de France region, it is performed on only 15% of patients in the Reims University Hospital. Therefore, it seems essential to conduct a study on the reality of the support of ACEH and to study the clinical and biological factors as well as the influence of the geographical distribution of specialized technical platforms on the prognosis of patients.
This is a before-and-after study examining the impact of real-time ventilation monitoring during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Study investigators will compare ventilation quality (rate, volume) performed during the resuscitation without the real-time feedback (before phase), to ventilation quality with the use of real-time feedback using the Zoll Accuvent device (after phase).
A prospective observational study aiming to monitor core temperature via an esophageal probe in out of hospital cardiac arrest during transport and until arrival in hospital. Insertion of an esophageal temperature probe will be done on scene during ongoing resuscitation manoeuvres based on European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2015 (or newer). Environmental temperature influence and hypothermia prevention interventions will be monitored.
