An International, Randomized, Controlled Prehospital Trial of a Waveform-Based Automated External Defibrillation Algorithm for the Management of Ventricular Fibrillation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Automated external defibrillator (Philips FR2+ AED), SmartCPR, and 1 other intervention for Ventricular Fibrillation and Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 900 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to examine the impact of an available technology within an automated external defibrillator (AEDs) to improve survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest for patients presenting in ventricular fibrillation.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients in this arm will be provided with immediate defibrillatory shock coupled with otherwise standard resuscitative efforts.
Patient in this arm will be treated with standard resuscitation efforts except that the first AED analysis will utilize an waveform-based algorithm to recommend either immediate defibrillation or delayed defibrillation for each patient.
In New York City only, all patients not initially treated by study personnel will receive other regional standard for resuscitation - delayed defibrillation.
