Brain Heart InterActioNs in Cardiac Arrest. Ancillary Study of the HEAVENwARd Trial
Despite advances in post-resuscitation care of patients with cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of survivors who are treated after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will have sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury ranging from mild cognitive impairment to a vegetative state. Current recommendations suggest using a multimodal approach to predict poor …
Assessment of Brain Damage Using Monitoring of Cerebral Oximetry Dynamics in Patients After Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in Europe. The recommended treatment for cardiac arrest is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and electrical defibrillation with an automated external defibrillator (AED). The chain of survival, which connects all links of basic and additional resuscitation procedures and post-resuscitation care, is …
The VENTOR Clinical Study
To evaluate the initial safety and effectiveness of the Ventor Airway System in providing short-term ventilation support in non-breathing subjects during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and respiratory arrests.
Feasibility of TEE During Cardiac Arrest in Dutch Emergency Departments
The goal of this feasibility study is to learn if Dutch ED providers are able to use transesophageal echocardiography during cardiac arrest. The main question it aims to answer is: • are the ED providers able to determine the area of maximal compression of the heart using TEE
Heart Rate Variability in Early Prediction of a Noxic Brain Injury After Cardiac Arrest
Despite advances in post-resuscitation care of patients with cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of survivors who are treated after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will have sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury ranging from mild cognitive impairment to a vegetative state. Early prognostication in comatose patients after ROSC remains challenging. Recent …
Intravascular Clotting (POCUS) - Marker of the Timing and Severity of Cardiac Arrest; Indicator of Futile Resuscitation
The scientific goals of the project: ultrasound assessment of the incidence of clotting in deep veins in patients after cardiac arrest during resuscitation and after the declaration of death; comparison to the incidence of clotting in the heart cavities comparison of resuscitation results in patients with and without clotting detected …
Mosaic Mitral Valve: Long-Term Outcomes in Patients Under 65
The safety and efficacy of the Mosaic bioprosthetic heart valves for cardiac valve replacement in the aortic position has been well documented throughout the literature. However, few studies assessing structural valve deficiency, patient outcomes and overall product performance in patients under the age of 65 exists for the Mosaic mitral …
Monitoring and Optimization of Cerebral Perfusion Pressure in Post-cardiac Arrest Patients: a Pilot Study
The goal of this study is to establish the ICP and CPP monitoring process and analyze the results in post-arrest patients, to validate the correlation between direct and non-invasive ICP monitoring indicators, to establish a protocol of management of elevated ICP and insufficient CPP in post-arrest care, to establish a …
Effect of AED-optimized Telephone-assisted CPR Instructions on No-flow Time and Chest Compression Fraction
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with survival highly dependent on the immediate initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Early recognition, prompt chest compressions, and rapid defibrillation are critical components of the chain of survival. Telephone-assisted CPR (T-CPR) provided by emergency dispatchers has been shown …
Respiratory Parameters Using Advanced Airways During In-hospital Cardiac Arrest
The investigators aim to investigate the real life volumes of air delivered to the lungs when rescuers deliver these breaths by hand as part of resuscitation attempts during cardiac arrest. The study will compare the volumes achieved using different devices which are routinely used to provided an airway during routine …
