Prehospital Automatic Ventilation on Resuscitation Outcomes in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare prehospital ventilation strategies in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The intervention group is automatic ventilation and the control group is manual ventilation. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does automatic ventilation affect OHCA patients' survival and prognosis comparing to manual ventilation. 2. What are the differences on resuscitation qualities between automatic ventilation and manual ventilation.
