Mechanical Versus Manual Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Completed

• Conditions: Resuscitation; Cardiac Arrest
• Interventions: Other: Manuel chest compressions handled by clinicians; Device: LUCAS™ 2 Chest Compression System

• Registration Number: NCT04422938
• Lead Sponsor: Ankara City Hospital Bilkent

Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators compared mechanical and manual chest compressions in in-hospital cardiac arrest cases.

Detailed Description

In this study, the investigators analyzed cardiopulmonary resuscitations performed over a 2-year period in an emergency department of a training and research hospital and compared success of manual and mechanical chest compressions in terms of return of spontaneous circulation, 30-day survival, and hospital discharge. Investigators present the study as an in-hospital cardiac arrest study; however, all of the resuscitation performed in the cases included in the study were performed in the emergency department.
