Strategies for Defibrillation During Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
The "Strategies for Defibrillation during Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest" (STRAT-DEFI) trial is an investigator-initiated, individually randomized, 3-group clinical trial comparing standard anterior-lateral pad positioning with anterior-posterior positioning and double sequential defibrillation during adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Impact of Preoperative Dental Screening in Reducing Infective Endocarditis Risk in Surgical Valve Replacement Patients
In Odense University Hospital preoperative dental screening (PDS) protocol for patients treated with surgical valve replacement was changed from mandatory to targeted PDS to from march 2024. The investigators will therefore compare the risk of IE before vs after march 2024.
Evaluation of Genetic-molecular Causes of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: From Patients to Families
The aims are to define the exact prevalence of hereditary heart diseases in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients taking also into account gender, patient and OHCA characteristics, provincial settings and environmental pollution; to stratify the individualized arrhythmic risk of proband's family members to prevent further sudden cardiac deaths; to refine …
Optimal Ventilation for Cardiac Arrest
Pediatric cardiac arrest is a life-threatening problem affecting \>15,000 hospitalized children each year. Less than half of these children survive to hospital discharge, and neurologic morbidity is common among survivors. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the OPTI-VENT bundle to improve survival to discharge with …
Early Amiodarone in Shockable Cardiac Arrest
The primary objective of this pilot, pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is to evaluate if a modified cardiac arrest treatment algorithm calling for the administration of the initial amiodarone dose one 2-minute cycle earlier than current guidelines (during the same cycle as the initial dose of epinephrine) improves the time …
Neuroprotection Bundles For Comatose Survivors Following Cardiac Arrest
The investigators designed LAPTOPS to determine the effectiveness of a goal-directed neuroprotection bundles of active management including body temperature,PaCO2,PaO2,position,Blood glucose ,blood sodium,Blood pressure and Lactate vs. usual care in adult post-cardiac arrest care. LAPTOPS is a large-scale pragmatic clinical trial to provide reliable evidence over the effectiveness of a widely …
Target-directed Management of Cerebral Oxygenation in Patients After Receiving ECPR
Neurological injury remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ECPR. At present, the results of three prospective randomized controlled studies on ECPR are inconsistent, and it is inconclusive whether ECPR can improve the neurological outcomes of patients with refractory cardiac arrest. Several study found that extracorporeal …
Does Increasing the Compression Pause From 3 to 5 Seconds in Mechanical Compression Devices Increase Ventilation Success Rate and Return of Spontaneous Circulation?
To give chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), mechanical chest compression devices can be used. During synchronous 30:2 CPR, the standard setting on these devices leave an automated 3-second chest compression pause after 30 compressions to facilitate caregivers in providing two ventilations. With this standard setting, research has shown that …
Targeted Temperature Management at 33°C Versus Controlled Normothermia for In-hospital Cardiac Arrest
The IH-TTM trial is designed to determine whether survival with a favorable neurological outcome is improved by induced hypothermia at 33°C in comatose critically ill patients admitted after resuscitated in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Recent evidence suggests that targeted temperature management (TTM) at 33°C may provide no survival benefits compared to …
Physiology-directed Epinephrine Dosing in Pediatric Cardiac Arrest
This is a prospective, observational, multi-center cohort study of pediatric cardiac arrests. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the physiologic response to epinephrine as an outcome discriminator in pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). In addition, the investigators will determine optimal epinephrine dosing strategies based on the initial physiologic …
