Overview
The trial collects and analyzes data from Cardiac Arrest Centres in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Description
With around 70,000 cases per year, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the most common causes of death in Germany. Only less than 10% of patients with an OHCA can currently be discharged with a satisfactory neurological outcome. The FITT-OHCA trial is a quality management project and collects data from Cardiac Arrest Centres on pre-hospital care and early post-resuscitation treatment in a standardized manner. The aim is to optimize the treatment process in patients following successful prehospital resuscitation through systematic data collection and feedback to the members of the rescue and treatment chain. The study includes cluster randomization of the participating hospitals.
