Assessing CPR Quality During In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Stopped early · Phase 2/Phase 3

Conditions studied: Cardiac Arrest

In brief

Using an investigational monitor/defibrillator that passively records CPR quality parameters, including chest compression rate and depth and ventilation rate and volume, we are prospectively recording CPR quality during sequential in-hospital cardiac arrests at the University of Chicago Hospitals. Using an audio feedback system linked to this device, we are studying whether such audio feedback improves CPR quality when provided to rescuers trained in the use of the device.
