Primary study design | Interventional |
Secondary study design | Cohort study |
Study setting(s) | Not specified |
Study type | Prevention |
Scientific title | |
Study acronym | Northern Ireland Public Access Defibrillation (NIPAD) |
Study objectives | Training laypersons such as first responders and police officers to carry and use automated external defibrillators to attend the scene of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests will result in the resuscitation of additional patients by a reduction in the response time compared to the existing emergency medical service response. |
Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from the Northern Ireland Research Ethics Committee on the 26th March 2003 (ref: 47/03). |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest |
Intervention | Training lay cardiac first responders and police officers to carry and use automated external defibrillators in response to sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in fixed and mobile locations. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Survival after hospital discharge following out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest 2. Cost-effectiveness of public access defibrillation in the study areas |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Reduction in response time compared to existing emergency medical services 2. Return of spontaneous circulation 3. The modelling of the results to Northern Ireland as a whole using a spatial modelling approach 4. The modelling of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of public access defibrillation across Northern Ireland |
