NCT ID: NCT01197807 Completed - Resuscitation Clinical Trials

Oronasopharyngeal Suction Versus Simple Nose and Mouth Wiping in Term Newborns

TermWIPE
Start date: November 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Until recently, bulb or catheter oronasopharyngeal suctioning (ONPS) of all the infants, including vigorous infants in the delivery room, has been featured as a standard of newborn care. The 5th edition of the Newborn Resuscitation Program (NRP) has minimized the recommendation for routine suctioning of infants following delivery, provided they are not depressed or in need of immediate resuscitation. However, this new alternative recommendation was based on a small randomized trial and other lower level evidence rather than evidence from larger trials. The NRP Textbook cautions against vigorous suctioning because of the resultant apnea or bradycardia. Furthermore, suctioning may delay other more important steps of resuscitation. Thus, it is necessary to compare the alternative recommended practice, i.e. simple wiping of the mouth, to determine if it has equivalent efficacy and a favorable side effect profile compared to suctioning.

NCT ID: NCT00719498 Completed - Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trials

Effect of Early High-dose Epoetin Alfa During Cardiac Arrest (Pilot Study)

Start date: November 2003
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the possible neuroprotective effect of early high dose erythropoietin alpha after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

NCT ID: NCT00631098 Completed - Resuscitation Clinical Trials

Cannulation for Resuscitation

CARE
Start date: March 2004
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

International CPR guidelines recommend the cannulation of a peripheral vein (antecubital or external jugular) during resuscitation. One reason for preferring the external jugular vein over more peripheral veins is the faster circulation time of drugs during CPR. The differences in circulation time may be over 90 seconds between peripheral and central (internal jugular) veins. However, cannulation of the external jugular vein may be more difficult and time consuming than cannulating cubital veins. There are no studies on the success rate, cannulation time and reliability of venous access comparing central and peripheral cannulation sites. We hypothesized that cannulation of the external jugular vein (by paramedics and is a demanding procedure in an emergency situation and should not be recommended during resuscitation. The aims of this study are to compare the feasibility of cannulating the external jugular vein compared to the cubital vein in terms of attempts, cannulation time and reliability of venous access.

NCT ID: NCT00449969 Completed - Cardiac Arrest Clinical Trials

Out-of-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and AED Feedback

Start date: April 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an online automatic feedback improved CPR quality (No-flow time, compression depth, short-term survival and one year follow up) in this prospective randomised study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

NCT ID: NCT00443118 Completed - Resuscitation Clinical Trials

Newborn Ventilation in the Delivery Room: Could it be Improved With a T-piece Resuscitator?

Start date: December 2009
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

A multicenter cross-over cluster randomized controlled trial protocol study in newborn infants ≥ 26 weeks gestational age requiring assisted ventilation (positive pressure ventilation [PPV]) for resuscitation in the delivery room comparing a T-piece resuscitator device versus resuscitation bag.
