About
The aim with this descriptive multicenter study is to examine the quality of the ventilation given by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Primary endpoint is the ventilation quality measured as ventilation frequency, tidal volume and minute ventilation.
This will primarily be studied during CPR with a 30 compression/2 ventilation ratio performed by the EMS personnel where the airway is managed with a supraglottic device but also in CPR with continuous ventilation (8-10 breaths/minute) after the airway management have been replaced with an endotracheal within the emergency room.
The inclusion of patients will be performed at two sites (Uppsala; Sweden and Utrecht; Holland), all out-of-hospital cardia arrest (OHCA) patients will receive care according to current CPR guidelines using mechanical chest compressions.
Full description
The inclusion is estimated to run over a two-year period to reach the goal of at least 200 patients. The study has been preceded by a trial period in an effort to solve any logistic and technical problems.
The study will be a prospective descriptive multicenter study where measurement of ventilation data will be sampled during CPR by EMS treating patients with OHCA. Any results from standard laboratory tests related to ventilation quality will be retracted from the patient medical journal systems. In addition to ventilatory variables measured as endpoints, secondary endpoints will also be outcome measures as any ROSC, survival and neurological outcome (mRS, GOS-E) measured at 30 days and at 6 months.
