Prehospital Resuscitation Intranasal Cooling Effectiveness Survival Study 2

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Ventricular Fibrillation
Hypothermia
Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Interventions
Device: Early transnasal evaporative cooling with the RhinoChill device
Registration Number
NCT06025123
Lead Sponsor
Karolinska Institutet
Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to study the impact of ultra-early transnasal evaporative cooling after cardiac arrest and subsequent hypothermia at hospital, on survival with complete neurologic recovery, compared to currently recommended normothermia. The study population will consist of patients 18-79 years old, with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with initial shockable rhythm.

The main research question it aims to answer is whether there is a difference in survival with complete neurologic recovery at 90 days after cardiac arrest between the group of patients that received ultra-early cooling, compared to the group that was treated with normothermia.

Participants will be randomized to two groups. One group (the intervention group) will receive ultra-early trans-nasal evaporative cooling initiated by EMS personnel at the scene of the cardiac arrest, and subsequent systemic hypothermia for 24 hours at hospital arrival. The other group (the control group), will receive standard of care (advanced cardiac life support and normal body temperature (normothermia)).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients surviving with complete neurologic recovery at 90 days defined as modified Rankin scale (mRs) of 0-1.Day 90

The modified Rankin Scale is a scoring system on neurologic function ranging from 0-6, where 0 means no symtoms at all, higher numbers indicating increasing neurologic disabilities and 6 equals death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients alive at hospital dischargeDay 1-90
Proportion of patients with sustained ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation) and admitted alive to hospitalDay 1
Proportion of patients alive at 90 daysDay 90
Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin scale 0-3 at hospital dischargeDay 1-90

The modified Rankin Scale is a scoring system on neurologic function ranging from 0-6, where 0 means no symtoms at all, higher numbers indicating increasing neurologic disabilities and 6 equals death.

Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin scale 0-3 at 90 daysDay 90

The modified Rankin Scale is a scoring system on neurologic function ranging from 0-6, where 0 means no symtoms at all, higher numbers indicating increasing neurologic disabilities and 6 equals death.
