An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a sudden event where the heart stops beating and a person becomes unresponsive. During this event, vital organs in the body receive no blood flow, causing them to shut down. Without intervention to restart the heart, a person effectively dies. In the UK, around 60,000 people experience cardiac arrests each year, with most occurring at home. Despite prompt emergency service response, survival rates are typically low.
There is technology available that has the potential to improve survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The intervention involves three devices used together: head-up position CPR (Elegard), active compression-decompression mechanical CPR (Lucas-3), and the Impedance Threshold device (Resqpod-16). When combined, these devices can enhance blood flow during resuscitation, potentially leading to improved initial resuscitation rates and higher rates of survival with normal brain function after a cardiac arrest.
A pilot study is planned to test the feasibility of using these devices. The results will inform the design of a larger study to determine if this technology can indeed improve survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Cardiac Arrest Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest | Procedure: Neuroprotective 'bundle of care' | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 32 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Pilot study - randomised controlled trial |
Masking: | Single (Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | The study team will not be blinded to which patients receive which arm of the trial and will be aware of what each service is delivering in each phase of the study. The research team carrying out the flow up will be blinded to the arm of the trial that the participant was in when they are collecting outcome and follow up data. It is impossible to blind the care providers. Participants will be blinded to which arm of the trial they were in (should they regain capacity). |

Experimental: Intervention 'bundle of care'
The clinical team will follow a specific sequence of actions using three devices (Elegard, Lucas-3, and ITD-16), in addition to standard CPR. Firstly, they will place the ITD onto the i-gel) or ETT, followed by the Elegard device and the LUCAS-3. The team will also place a cerebral saturation monitor on (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)) (if they have access to one). After 2 minutes of CPR via the LUCAS-3 with the ResQPOD-16 (ITD), the Elegard device will be turned on and activated to gradually elevate the head approximately 22cm from the ground to the back of the occiput. If necessary, the clinical team may choose to intubate the trachea at this point. Resuscitation will continue for at least 30 minutes or until ROSC is achieved. If ROSC is achieved, standard post ROSC guidelines will be followed.

Procedure: Neuroprotective 'bundle of care'
This includes the 3 devices:
|
- The feasibility of initiating the 'bundle of care' (ability to recruit to the intervention, ability to place the 3 devices in the intervention group and use them as per the protocol. [ Time Frame: Through study completion an average of up to 1 year ]The feasibility of initiating the 'bundle of care' (ability to recruit to the intervention) and to adequately perform the randomisation and crossover of each arm within each participating service, evidenced by the number of eligible patients and the number recruited.
- Feasibility of delivering a single education package on how to use the 'bundle of care'. [ Time Frame: 30 days ]The feasibility of delivering an education package to teach the procedure for the bundle of care intervention and the success of said education package, evidenced by the number of staff trained and the incidence of non-compliance. The package will contain classroom teaching and video resources.
- First recorded cardiac rhythm of the participants in the trial [ Time Frame: 30 Minutes ]To record the initial cardiac arrest rhythm, asystole, pulseless electrical activity, ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
- Signs of life during CPR to include a pulse, an attempt to breathe or to move [ Time Frame: 30 minutes ]Signs of life during CPR- Presence of agonal respirations and other signs of life (pupillary response, movement during CPR)
- Maximum end tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) during CPR before ROSC. [ Time Frame: 30 minutes ]
- Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). [ Time Frame: 60-120 minutes ]To mark the time of ROSC is it is achieved.
- Is the participant alive at hospital at the point of handover in the emergency department (i.e. sustained ROSC) or are they dead. [ Time Frame: 60-120 minutes ]Is the patient alive or dead, this is a binary outcome measure
- To evaluate any differences between intubation and supraglottic airway use with regard to mortality. [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
- To evaluate any differences between intubation and supraglottic airway use with regard to modified Rankin score. [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
The Modified Rankin score is a score from 0-5 with a higher score indicating a worse neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. The values are as follows.
0 The patient has no residual symptoms.
- The patient has no significant disability; able to carry out all pre-stroke activities.
- The patient has slight disability; unable to carry out all pre-stroke activities but able to look after self without daily help.
- The patient has moderate disability; requiring some external help but able to walk without the assistance of another individual.
- The patient has moderately severe disability; unable to walk or attend to bodily functions without assistance of another individual.
- The patient has severe disability; bedridden, incontinent, requires continuous care.
- Survival to discharge or 30-day survival (whichever is sooner). [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
- Survival with a favourable neurological outcome at hospital discharge (or 30 days) using The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
The Modified Rankin score is a score from 0-5 with a higher score indicating a worse neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. The values are as follows.
0 The patient has no residual symptoms.
- The patient has no significant disability; able to carry out all pre-stroke activities.
- The patient has slight disability; unable to carry out all pre-stroke activities but able to look after self without daily help.
- The patient has moderate disability; requiring some external help but able to walk without the assistance of another individual.
- The patient has moderately severe disability; unable to walk or attend to bodily functions without assistance of another individual.
- The patient has severe disability; bedridden, incontinent, requires continuous care.
- To complete a service user questionnaire on the delivery of the intervention. [ Time Frame: 30 days ]To evaluate the opinions of the paramedics and doctors recruiting to the trial regarding the use of the equipment in the intervention group and any barriers to recruitment.
