Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation study is to investigate haemodynamics generated by the standard mechanical external chest compression device (LUCAS™ 2) compared to a new version generating chest compressions and active decompression above the initial starting position of the suction cup (LUCAS™ 2AD).

Detailed Description

Based on randomization patients will receive standard or active compression decompression chest compression and the haemodynamic effects will be compared.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Unexpected adult out-of-hospital non-traumatic cardiac arrest where an attempt of resuscitation is considered appropriate in:
  • Patients 18 years or older

Exclusion Criteria

  • Traumatic cardiac arrest
  • Age believed to be less than 18 years
  • Known pregnancy
  • Victim not to be resuscitated (DNR orders)
  • Internals in prison
  • Included once in the study already
  • To Small/Large patients
  • Sustained ROSC occurring before the LUCAS™ 2 or LUCAS™ 2-AD can be applied to the patient, such that further CPR is not needed
