Trial summary

Airway management and maintaining adequate ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are important. The rule of 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratios before endotracheal intubation and keeping 1 breath every 6-8 seconds with advanced airway are generally accepted according to 2010 Advanced Cardiac Life… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Chest Compression and Ventilation Coordination During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Airway management and maintaining adequate ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are important. The rule of 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratios before endotracheal intubation and keeping 1 breath every 6-8 seconds with advanced airway are generally accepted according to 2010 Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) guideline. This recommendation emphasizes on the timing and frequency of ventilation during CPR. However, poor clinical evidence had been established concerning adequate volume, airway flow and pressure in each cycle.

There are increasing evidence that hyperventilation during resuscitation reduces pulmonary venous return and, therefore, compromises cardiac output and circulation. Another research reported that using high flow oxygen mask alone during basic life support (BLS) results in better survival rate and overall outcome compared with conventional positive pressure ventilation.

Our study applies flowmeter to measure ventilation parameters as frequency, duration, exhaled volume and airway pressure on intubated patients who received artificial ventilation during CPR. The parameters will correlate with information from accelerometry and capnometry simultaneously during resuscitation. . Investigators also focus on the influence of chest compression, which increases intra-thoracic pressure considerably. This effect may act against positive pressure ventilation and probably minimize the efficiency in each ventilation or circulation..

Details about how to ventilate one patient during CPR include right timing, duration, adequate volume and coordination are in debate. Unfortunately, current practice based on clinical guidelines emphasizes little on this issue. Investigators are committed to refine contemporary practices and hopefully improve qualities of resuscitation.

Investigators proposed the hypothesis that coordinate chest compression and ventilation may minimize the increasement of airway pressure and improve the effect of circulation

What is being measured

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

  1. rate of 2- hour recover of spontaneous circulation

    Recover of spontaneous circulation lasting for 2 hours describe as successful recover of spontaneous circulation, otherwise failure.

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. End tidal carbon-dioxide level

    End tidal carbon-dioxide level correlates with successful recovery of spontaneous circulation event

    Measured: Measured during and end of resuscitation

  2. Arterial blood gas data

    Oxygen and carbon-dioxide tension changes in different ventilation strategy in cardiopulmonary resuscitation

    Measured: measured during and end of resuscitaiton

  3. 30-day survival rate

    Measured: 30 days

  4. 90-day neurologic outcome

    Measured: 90 days

  5. Survive to discharge

    Duration of hospital stay, usually will be recorded in 90 days, occasionally will more than 90 days

    Measured: 90 days

  6. Timing of first shockable rhythm

    Measured: measured during resuscitaion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and Sudden Cardiac Death, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2015. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hui-Chih Wang (+886-2-23123456 ext. 65659, ticoer@ntuh.gov.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

rate of 2- hour recover of spontaneous circulation (time frame: 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Apr 2015.
