Official title
Bedside Ultrasound Detection of Occult Prefusion in the Emergency Department Following Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this study is to describe the population of patients presenting after out of hospital cardiac arrest with occult perfusion, defined as a patient without a palpable pulse but with some evidence of pulsatile arterial flow. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To measure the prevalence of patients of patients presenting to the emergency department after out of hospital cardiac arrest with occult perfusion * To measure the association between occult perfusion and survival * Compare survival between patients with occult perfusion that were treated as pulseless by ACLS interventions vs those treated as hypotensive Researchers will describe the percentage of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest presenting to the emergency department without a pulse but with occult perfusion. Researchers will also compare survival endpoints (ROSC, Survival to hospital Admission, and Survival to Hospital Discharge) in pulseless patients with occult perfusion treated with ACLS interventions only and pulseless patients with occult perfusion treated as if they had pulsatile arterial flow. Participants will undergo resuscitation based on decisions by the clinical team who incorporate echo and/or vascular ultrasound during the first three rounds of CPR. The resuscitation will continue until the patient demonstrates return of spontaneous circulation or until the clinical team halts resuscitative efforts due to futility.
