Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A New Algorithm Named "One Shock Per Minute"
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating One shock per minute AED protocol and Guidelines 2000 AED protocol for Heart Arrest and Ventricular Fibrillation. Completed, enrolled 5,107 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the trial is to evaluate a new AED algorithm that proposes a new timeline between the time devoted to administer a defibrillation shock, and the time devoted to chest compressions. The researchers propose to decrease the periods of interruption of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), while keeping the principle of early defibrillation.

Timeline
Interventions
Single shocks; No post-shock pulse checks; 60 sec CPR before first shock; 30 sec CPR between rhythm analysis and shock delivery.
Up to 3 consecutive shocks in a stack; No initial CPR prior to the first shock; Post-shock pulse checks after each non-shockable rhythm analysis; 60 sec CPR after each non-shockable rhythm analysis.
