A Feasibility Study to Evaluate a New Doppler Method (RescueDoppler) for Monitoring Blood Flow in the Carotid Artery in Subjects Suffering From Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (8) locations...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
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.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18

View:

• Male or female, aged 18 years or older. Subjects experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest, either pre-hospital or in-hospital. Sudden cardiac arrest is defined as the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing, and consciousness.

Treatments
Experimental: RescueDoppler patch with probe is attached to patients with cardiac arrest
The RescueDoppler probe and patch are placed on the left side of the patient's neck in both pre-hospital and in-hospital settings. The RescueDoppler system is blinded to the medical personnel during the cardiac arrest and is not used for real-time monitoring. After the cardiac arrest, the velocity curves are processed by the research team and synchronized with the ECG for analysis.
