NCT ID: NCT06305013 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Pulseless Electrical Activity

PEA: The Ability of Nurses To Recognize It (PEA: ANTRI)

PEARECOG
Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Ability to recognize cardiac arrest is crucial in emergency situations and all health care professionals should be able to do so. The identification of pulseless electrical activity can be difficult even if the theoretical knowledge of this state is well known. This research will be performed at the Simulation centre of Medical Faculty, Masaryk university and it will be focused on nurses who will come to the simulation course. All the participants will get prelearning theoretical materials that will contain chapter about pulseless electrical activity and its recognition. In the beginning of the course they will be asked to fill up the questionnaire with four different pictures of patient´s monitor in cardiac arrest. It will be evaluated whether the pulseless electrical activity will be recognized.

NCT ID: NCT06071910 Recruiting - Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trials

Emergency Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest

ERICA-ARREST
Start date: June 5, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will assess the feasibility of performing pre-hospital resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as an adjunct to conventional Advanced Life Support (ALS) in patients suffering from non-traumatic out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). As well as providing valuable insights into the technical feasibility of performing this procedure as part of a resuscitation attempt, the study will also document the beneficial physiological effects of REBOA in this group of patients.

NCT ID: NCT05283850 Recruiting - Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trials

Surviving PEA in Roanoke (SPEAR) Study

SPEAR
Start date: February 16, 2022
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The Carilion Clinic and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, in conjunction with Roanoke Fire-EMS, Botetourt County Department of Fire & EMS and Salem Fire-EMS, are studying the outcomes of patients experiencing Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA). PEA refers to a type of cardiac arrest in which there is normal electrical activity in the heart however the heart still fails to contract to generate a pulse. Without heart contractions, which normally generates a pulse, the brain and other important organs fail to receive blood and oxygen. Unfortunately, the majority (97.3%) of patients that experience this rhythm do not survive and most don't even make it to the hospital. This study is trying to determine if the administration of a High Calcium, Low Sodium (HCLS) fluid in pre-hospital care will improve the chances of survival. Generally, a sodium (salt) solution is provided to patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Studies have shown that lower sodium and higher calcium content may activate certain parts of the heart cells required to generate a pulse under PEA conditions. This study is a double-blind, prospective, clinical trial. PEA patients will randomly receive either routine fluid therapy (salt solution) or a HCLS solution. While HCLS solution is not the standard fluid used by EMS providers responding to PEA, it is composed of FDA approved components and is occasionally used by EMS providers at their discretion in treating PEA. It is predicted that HCLS will either improve PEA survival or deliver similar outcomes as routine treatment. All patients will receive standard, high quality cardiac arrest and post-cardiac arrest care regardless of assigned treatment group.

NCT ID: NCT02033720 Not yet recruiting - Asystole Clinical Trials

Study of Survivors of Different Types of Cardiac Arrest and Their Neurological Recovery

Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

After successful resuscitation from certain types of cardiac arrest, total body cooling is now a well established treatment that improves the chances of the brain recovering. This however, has only been definitively proven after a certain type of cardiac arrest that is "ventricular fibrillation / ventricular tachycardia". The purpose of this study is to explore if total body cooling is beneficial for patients recovering from another type of cardiac arrest that is "pulseless electrical activity". HYPOTHESIS: Patients undergoing post-cardiac arrest therapeutic hypothermia have better neurological outcomes if their initial arrest rhythm is pulseless electrical activity (PEA) in comparison to asystole.

NCT ID: NCT01446471 Completed - Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trials

REASON 1 Trial: Sonography in Cardiac Arrest

Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of the presence or absence of cardiac activity by bedside ultrasound during cardiac arrest. The investigators anticipate based on previous research that patients who suffer a cardiac arrest and have cardiac activity on bedside ultrasound will have a greater chance of surviving to hospital admission. The investigators hypothesis is that the mortality rate in patients in cardiac arrest with no cardiac activity by ultrasound will have a mortality rate of 100%.
