About this study

Official title: Initial Airway Management in Patients With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Tracheal Intubation vs. Bag-valve-mask Ventilation - CAAM STUDY

The aim of this study is to improve the management of patients in cardiac arrest, and this by comparing two initial airway management methods: Tracheal intubation and bag-valve-mask ventilation.

The survival rate at 28-day with favorable neurological function will be compared in the tracheal intubation group versus the bag-valve-mask group

Read the detailed description

It is a multicenter prospective non-inferiority open randomized controlled trial in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest carried out in physician-staffed emergency medical services.

The investigators hypothesis is that basic airway management (i.e. bag-valve-mask ventilation) is safe and may avoid the deleterious effects of tracheal intubation including interruption of chest compressions.

On medical team's arrival at the scene and after verification of participant's eligibility, patients will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to either initial bag-valve-mask ventilation or tracheal intubation. After the hospital admission, all patients will be intubated whatever the initial airway management.

What participants receive

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

  • bag-valve-mask ventilationProcedure or surgery

    Airway management including initial bag-valve-mask ventilation by the medical team during OHCA. When standard bag-valve-mask ventilation is possible, the patient will be intubated in case of a return of spontaneous circulation. When standard bag-valve-mask ventilation is impossible or in case of massive regurgitation of gastric content (after randomisation), intubation of patient is the preferred alternative.

  • tracheal intubationProcedure or surgery

    Tracheal intubation during OHCA by the medical team: The standard intubation procedure is to use a non-styletted tube and no sedation. When standard laryngoscopy-assisted intubation is not possible, an alternate procedure will be used based on the French consensus conference guidelines on difficult airway management

  9. Technique's failure defined as mortality

    Technique's failure defined as mortality at 28-day or regurgitation during the procedure or failure of the procedure (failure to ventilate in the bag-valve-mask ventilation or failure to intubate in the intubation group)

    Measured: Day 0, Day 28

  10. Ventilation difficulty with bag-valve-mask measured with a visual-analog-scale (VAS)

    Measured: Day 0

  11. Han's mask ventilation classification

    Measured: Day 0

  12. Difficult mask ventilation signs

    Measured: Day 0

  13. Time to completion of tracheal intubation (TI) procedure

    Time to completion of tracheal intubation (TI) procedure measured from the instant that the laryngoscope blade touches the patient to the moment that the tracheal tube cuff is inflated

    Measured: Day 0

  14. Duration of the interruption of chest compression during TI procedure

    Duration of the interruption of chest compression during TI procedure

    Measured: Day 0

  15. Duration of the interruption of chest compression during advanced CPR (from medical team's arrival to decision to stop CPR)

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?

Survival with favorable neurological function defined as Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) of 2 or less. (time frame: Day 28). 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 NCT02327026, 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 10 May 2017.
