About this study

Official title: Quality of Out-of-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) With Real Time Automated Feedback: a Prospective Randomized Study

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

Being tested
Zoll AED pro
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Zoll AED proDevice

    Arm one (Extended feedback) offers full feedback guidance during CPR

  • Zoll AED proDevice

    In arm two (limited feedback) feedback is modified lacking several elements of feedback

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ratio of patients with spontaneous circulation

    Measured: admission to the hospital

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. length of hospital stay

    Measured: hospital discharge

  2. neurological status

    Measured: hospital discharge

  3. neurological status

    Measured: one year after resuscitation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Zoll AED pro in people with Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation, run by University Hospital Muenster at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ratio of patients with spontaneous circulation (time frame: admission to the hospital). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00449969, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Apr 2011.
