The Haemodynamic Effects of Mechanical Standard and Active Chest Compression-decompression During Out-of-hospital CPR
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Cardiac Arrest
- Registration Number
- NCT02479152
- Lead Sponsor
- Physio-Control
- 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.
