Live Stream of Prehospital point-of Care Ultrasound During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been suggested as a useful tool in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) for diagnosis and treatment of reversible causes. However, in prehospital emergency medicine performing ultrasound and the translation of the findings can be challenging. As new prehospital ultrasound devices offer the possibility for remote supervision, the impact of tele-supervision on the performance of POCUS during OHCA is unclear.
Aims: This prospective observational study aims to evaluate if POCUS with tele-supervision can be performed during CPR without any additional hands-off periods longer than 5 seconds.
Methods: In total 30 patients with OHCA, where POCUS is considered, will be included in this study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Hands-off time during prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
The primary outcome of this study evaluates, if POCUS with tele-supervision can be performed during prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation without any additional hands-off period longer than 5 seconds
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Impact of real-time supervision of POCUS during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the duration time of POCUS [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Impact of real-time supervision of POCUS during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the duration time of POCUS
- Impact of real-time supervision of POCUS during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on changing of diagnosis of suspected cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Impact of real-time supervision of POCUS during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on changing of diagnosis of suspected cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
