The Association Between Technical and Non-technical Skills in Real-life ALS Situations. Impact of...

Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest is handled by cardiopulmonary resuscitation which is a time critical emergency situation. The actions during resuscitation are lead by international guidelines. Traditionally, the main focus of the training has been on medical knowledge and technical skills (TS). Nowadays non-technical skills (NTS), such as communication, teamwork behaviour, and leadership, are considered at least equally important. The aim of this study is to evaluate both TS and NTS of the resuscitation team during real-life resuscitation situations using a validated assessment tool. The association between TS and NTS will be analyzed. Findings from this study may help to recognize the possible weaknesses and issues which could be improved by training. Hypothesis is that that TS are probably in a high level, but some improvement points of NTS are ought to be known better. Investigators hypothesis that the good NTS performance in resuscitation is accompanied by good TS performance.

Microcirculatory Perfusion in Patients With Coma After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac Arrest

The hypothesis is: In patients after an out of hospital cardiac arrest, treated with therapeutic hypothermia (33°C) will be found significantly more microcirculatory abnormalities, compared to the same group of patients treated with 36°C.

Prehospital Cerebral Oxygenation During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Cardiac Arrest

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technique that measures regional cerebral oxygenation in a non-invasive manner. Through the use of near infrared light, the difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin can be measured. By applying the Beer-Lamber law, a numeric result can be calculated. During a cardiac arrest, there is no stroke volume, no cardiac output and no cerebral perfusion. By using cerebral NIRS during out-of hospital cardiac arrest, low flow time and return of spontaneous circulation, this study wants to show the prognostic value of NIRS as extra monitoring.

Effectiveness of Dispatch-Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Instructions

Cardiac Arrest

The overall goal of this study is to better understand the factors leading to successful dispatch-assisted CPR instructions and to ultimately save the lives of more cardiac arrest patients. Specific objectives are to: 1) Determine the ability of 9-1-1 dispatchers to make the diagnosis of cardiac arrest over the phone; 2) Quantify the frequency and impact of perceived agonal breathing on cardiac arrest diagnosis; 3) Measure the frequency with which dispatch-assisted CPR instructions can be successfully completed in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases; and 4) Measure the impact of dispatch-assisted CPR instructions on bystander CPR and survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Cardiac Arrest Incidence and Outcome Among Patients With COVID-19 in French ICUs

Sars-CoV2Covid-19

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Among COVID-19 complications, in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) was reported with a very poor outcome in a retrospective single-center study (0,7% of 30 days survival with good neurological outcome among IHCA patients with a resuscitation attempt), related to its natural course and management. The incidence of unexpected in-ICU cardiac arrest (ICUCA) due to COVID-19 is still unknown. Additionally, outcome of COVID-19 patients admitted in ICU for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is also undescribed. The objective this study is : to report the incidence of ICUCA among patients hospitalized in French ICU for COVID-19. to report morbidity and mortality among COVID-19 patients admitted alive in ICU for an OHCA or an IHCA. The secondary objective is to assess outcome and identify risk factors of ICUCA occurrence among patients admitted for COVID-19.

Resuscitation Outcomes in the Netherlands Flashmob Questionnaire

Cardiopulmonary ArrestDNR-orders

The aim of this study is to gain insight in patients' experiences regarding do not resuscitate conversations and decisions. A multicentre flash mob investigation will be conducted in which data will be obtained over the course of two weeks using electronic questionnaires that patients will fill out. General demographic data and a brief quality of life assessment (EQ-5D) will be collected. Whether a DNR converstation has taken place will be noted, along with patients' experiences with this conversation. Lastly the patient will be asked about his/her expectations of survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Coverage and Validity of the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Regarding In-hospital...

In-hospital Cardiac Arrest

The study will have an observational retrospective cross-sectional design. Patient records and hospital administrative systems at 10 hospitals in Sweden will be searched using ICD-codes to find all patients treated for an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the time period of 20180101 to 20191231. All found patients will be cross-checked against reported patients in the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SRCR). Any differences in patient characteristics or regarding situation factors between reported and non-reported patients will be evaluated. Non-reported patients will be retrospectively reported to the registry. An incidence of IHCA will be calculated using the number of patients treated for IHCA divided by number of hospital admissions during the specific time period. Selected variables will be evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding concordance with patient records. All missing data will be described and evaluated. Local reporting procedures at each hospital will be described and evaluated regarding compliance to report and regarding missing data.
