Compression Is Life In Cardiac Arrest - Quality Study (CILICA-QS)

Caen University Hospital

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Cardiac Arrest

Treatments: Device: CPRmeter (feedback device) without feedback; Device: CPRmeter (feedback device) with feedback

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03140202

A16-D51-VOL.30

Details and patient eligibility

About

Context: Chest compressions quality is known to be essential in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Despite a known harmful effect of chest compressions interruptions, current guidelines still recommend provider switch every 2 minutes. Feedback impact on chest compressions quality preservation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation remains to be assessed.

Study design: simulated prospective monocentric randomized crossover trial.

Participants and methods: Sixty five professionals rescuers of the pre-hospital care unit of University Hospital of Caen (doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers) are enrolled to performed continuous chest compression on manikin (ResusciAnne®, Laerdal), twice, with and without a feedback device (CPRmeter®). Correct compression score (the main criterion) is defined by reached target of rate, depth and leaning at the same time (recorded continuously).

Hypothesis: Feedback device preserve chest compression quality above the 2 minutes recommended switch over during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Enrollment: 65 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
