Survey of Attitudes and Factors Associated With CPR in an Older Population
Cardiac ArrestThe goal of this study is to conduct a survey to better understand the factors associated with undertaking cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and performing CPR in an emergency situation.
Evaluation of Quality of Life and Its Influencing Factors After VA-ECMO in Refractory Cardiac Arrest...
Refractory Cardiac ArrestExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)If the ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) improves survival in the management of refractory cardiac arrest (RCA), this technique is still an invasive technique, not devoid of complications and requiring intensive care that can have serious consequences for patients. If the studies so far show an acceptable quality of life post ECMO in refractory cardiac arrest, the study looks about the quality of life of our patients in Grenoble who survived a refractory cardiac arrest between 2006 and 2018 at the hospital university Grenoble Alps and the factors influencing this quality of life.
Post-resuscitation Care Registry for Survival From Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac ArrestThe aim of this study is to construct multi-center post-cardiac arrest care registry that can be used for data warehousing and clinical research.
Medical Dispatchers' Perception of Visual Information in Real Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac ArrestDispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a complex, nonvisual procedure that is challenging for the dispatcher. The aim was to explore the medical dispatchers' perception of bystanders' responses and dispatchers' reflections about the added value of visual information in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) situations.
Improve SCA Bridge Study
Sudden Cardiac ArrestAcute Myocardial InfarctionThe purpose of the Improve SCA Bridge study is to characterize the care pathway flow of post-acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients as a result of standard assessments of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the acute phase (≤14 days post- acute MI) and chronic phase (≥40-90 days post-acute MI).
Microcirculatory Perfusion in Patients With Coma After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac ArrestThe 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.
Haemostasis and Therapeutic Hypothermia
HypothermiaHeart ArrestThe purpose of this study is to investigate, if the haemostasis is impaired in cardiac arrest patients during therapeutic hypothermia compared with normothermia.
Prehospital Cerebral Oxygenation During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Cardiac ArrestNear 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.
Pharmacokinetics of Epinephrine During Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac ArrestTo determine the pharmacokinetics of epinephrine during cardiac arrest.
Measurement of Serum Potassium Rate During Accidental Hypothermia.
Accidental HypothermiaHyperkalemia1 moreSerum Potassium Rate (PR) is a key indicator for medical management of patients with accidental hypothermia particularly for hypothermia related cardiac arrest (CA). Experts recommend a cut-off value for PR of 12 mmol/l for all hypothermic victims and 8 mmol/l for avalanche casualties. Any patient presenting a PR lower than the cut-off value should be considered for Extracorporeal Rewarming. This therapeutic strategy is vital for patient survival. However, there is no consensus about what type of vessels should be punctured in order to obtain an accurate potassium rate and what type of measurement technics should be used to measure this potassium rate. The investigators hypothesize that potassium rate in these patients will differ by 1 mmol/l in blood samples collected from a peripheral vein in contrast to a central vein. The investigators study is a prospective observational, multicentre study.
