RescueDoppler- a Disruptive Ultrasound Solution for Improved Outcome After Cardiac Arrest.

Summary

RescueDoppler is an innovative, hands-free Doppler system designed for continuous monitoring of blood flow in the carotid artery, distinguishing between the presence and absence of a pulse. It is non-invasive, user-independent, and does not require specialized ultrasound expertise. The primary goal of this study is to assess the feasibility and clinical utility of RescueDoppler for monitoring carotid artery blood flow in patients experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

The multi-center study will be performed both pre-hospital and in-hospital.

Conditions

• Cardiac Arrest (CA)
• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
• Doppler Ultrasound

Interventions

DEVICE

RescueDoppler

Continuous hands-free Doppler ultrasound of the carotid artery during cardiac arrest

DEVICE

Rescue

RescueDoppler patch with probe is attached on the left side of the neck during the cardiac arrest. Operative health personell are blinded for the velocity curves that are post-processed by the research team after the cardiac arrest and synchronised with ECG.
