Trans-Nasal Cooling With the RhinoChill Device Following Cardiac Arrest: A Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating RhinoChill and Control for Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 15 sites in 5 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of early intranasal cooling prior to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the emergency medical services (EMS) environment. It was hypothesized that cooling during the resuscitation attempt would increase ROSC and subsequent survival. The study was not powered to demonstrate statistically-significant differences in any outcome parameter, but was intended as an exploratory study only.
