About this study

Official title: Population Based Intervention Trial of Dispatcher-Activated Neighborhood Access Defibrillation and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

The hypothesis of this study is Dispatcher-Activated Neighborhood Access Defibrillation and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (NAD-CPR) would improve survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Read the detailed description

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major health problem, occurring in about 1 in 1,500 adults in the developed countries each year. Although layperson CPR and defibrillation are crucial components of chain of survival, layperson CPR rate and it's quality is low and public-access defibrillation (PAD) program is not cost-effective.If trained bystanders can know the information of occurrence of OHCA and nearest place for automated external defibrillator (AED) at the same time by dispatch center, these neighborhoods could run and give high quality CPR and early defibrillation. If this protocol ,Dispatcher-Activated Neighborhood Access Defibrillation and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(NAD-CPR), is introduced to community, it may improve survival of OHCA.

What participants receive

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

  • NAD-CPROther

    When Dispatcher detects OHCA, short message service (SMS)about the OHCA event and information about the location of nearest AED is sent to trained laypersons within geographically accessible area.

Study groups in NCT02010151
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NAD-CPRExperimentalWhen dispatcher detects a patient with OHCA, the dispatcher activates trained neighborhoods by informing events nearby using short message service via cellular phone. The neighborhood within geographically accessible area who could perform effective CPR and defibrillation would be alerted with event of OHCA and the nearest AED.
Receives: Other: NAD-CPR
Conventional dispatcher assisted CPRNo interventionWhen dispatcher detects OHCA, they instruct the caller with CPR instructions. This is conventional dispatcher assisted CPR performed in Seoul.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Surviving at Hospital Discharge

    we compared the survival to discharge rate between before intervention period and intervention period.

    Survival to discharge checked at the discharge point of hospital.

    Measured: discharge time from first admission from emergency department within 2 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Pre-Hospital Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC)

    we compared the Pre-hospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate between before intervention period and intervention period.

    Measured: hospital arriving time from ambulance within 2 hours

  2. Number of Participants With Good Neurological Recovery

    Cerebral performance category 1 or 2 is defined as good neurological recovery. we compared the good neurological recovery rate between before intervention period and intervention period.

    Measured: discharge time from first admission from emergency department within 2 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NAD-CPR in people with Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 30 Mar 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Surviving at Hospital Discharge (time frame: discharge time from first admission from emergency department within 2 month). 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 NCT02010151, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Mar 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
