HANDS ON BUT OFF DEFIBRILLATION: GROUP WHICH LL BE APPLIED STANDARD CPR PROTOCOL OF AHA BY USING ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED GLOVES
Study summary
Cardiopulmonary arrest is the sudden cessation of spontaneous breathing and circulation due to various causes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the set of decisions and procedures encompassing all efforts aimed at restoring spontaneous circulation. Guidelines are published at regular intervals by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) to ensure that these procedures are applied uniformly worldwide. According to the AHA and ERC guidelines, the latest approach to CPR is to reduce the duration of interruptions in chest compressions, which is a component of high-quality CPR. Prior to actual patient intervention, a preliminary test will be conducted on an advanced life support simulation manikin to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the method.
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), unavoidable interruptions in chest compressions occur because contact with the patient must be broken during defibrillation and cardioversion. In this study, electrically insulated composite gloves (Class 2) will be used to ensure uninterrupted chest compressions during defibrillation, and the effect of this practice on patients' ROSC, EtCO₂, neurological outcomes, and survival rates will be evaluated comparatively with the control group.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of ensuring uninterrupted chest compressions during defibrillation using electrically insulated composite gloves on patient survival rates.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- MORTALITY RATE — UP TO 36 MONTHS
The study will be conducted using electrically insulated composite gloves (Class 2 Starline Linepro insulated gloves) to ensure that chest compressions continue uninterrupted during defibrillation and to determine the effect of this practice on patient survival rates.
