Feasibility of Doppler Ultrasound for Pulse Detection in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients

NCT06249893 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 75

Last updated 2024-08-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate the feasibility of using doppler point-of-care ultrasound on the femoral artery with a portable device to assess the presence of a pulse in patients suffering from cardiac arrest in the out-of-hospital environment. The main question is how often researchers are successful in acquiring the necessary ultrasound signal in the out-of-hospital environment.

Conditions

  • Cardiac Arrest, Out-Of-Hospital

Interventions

OTHER

Point-of-care vascular ultrasound

Point-of-care ultrasound will be used to image the femoral vessels and to perform a pulsed-wave doppler measurement of blood flow during chest compressions and during pauses for rhythm and manual pulse checks.
