Active clinical trials for "Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest"

This study is designed as a multicenter, prospective, cohort clinical study. The out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients presenting to the adult emergency departments of the participating hospitals will render the study population. The non-traumatic, non-intracranial event related OHCA patients in whom the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved will render the sampling group. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of bedside ultrasound (USG) measurements of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) following the ROSC after Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for OHCA patients, with early (3rd day) neurological evaluation and 30 days survival rate, proposing that increased ONSD may be related to negative neurological outcomes. Considering a relationship is found, the secondary goals of the study are established as, identifying a cut-off value for ONSD related to negative neurological outcome and the optimal time to measure ONSD. The sampling size with a power of 95% is calculated to be 203 patients. The patients whose available next of kin has given consent will be admitted to the study.

This Pilot project is an observational study of a cohort of participants (victims) of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests in Warangal area ,Telangana ,India . Started on January 1,2018 to December 2018.

Evaluation of the impact of bystander CPR, prehospital resuscitation protocols, and hospital post-resuscitation protocols for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in the state of Arizona.

Early-onset pneumonia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is frequent. An association between early-onset pneumonia and an increase in morbidity has been reported in this population. The diagnosis of early-onset pneumonia inpatients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest may be challenging as diagnosis criteria are unspecific in this setting. On the other hand some studies have reported an association between early antibiotics and better prognosis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest suggesting that early diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia would benefit to patients. Nonetheless, adminitration of antibiotics to any patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest would expose to antibiotic patients without infection and woould participate to increase in antibiotic resistance. Therefore, the PP-ACR study aims to evaluate the impact of a diagnosis algorithm including blinded sampling protected brushes on early-onset pneumonia treatment and patient prognosis after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

This study seeks to evaluate, whether patients suffering from cardiac arrest, that can be successfully resuscitated, can be differentiated from those, that cannot be resuscitated, using arterial blood pressure values.

Therapeutic hypothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is considered as a standard care. However, optimal candidates, optimal dose, duration, timing of initiation and rate of rewarming is still unknown. The objective of this project is to improve the outcomes for patients after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest treated with therapeutic hypothermia established from the analysis of multicenter registry data.

This study evaluate the association of some in-ICU factors with the neurological prognosis of patients admitted for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to a myocardial infarction.

The investigators hypothesized that pre-arrival instructions would increase the likelihood of bystanders performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
