No results posted yet for this study

Summary

1\. Hypothesis The early elevation of the lower extremities during out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation increases survival to one month by improving cardiac preload and blood flow to the heart and brain during chest compression.

Conditions

  • Heart Arrest

Interventions

OTHER

Passive Leg Raise

The intervention is made on all adult patients receiving CPR by the ambulance crew. The leg raise is performed during the first minutes of CPR (limit 5 min) and will continue as long as the patients receive chest compression. In Spain the patient is immediate randomized by envelope. If the patient is randomized to PLR, the ambulance crews use a special folding stool that allows the legs to be raised about 20 degrees.
