Background and study aims
A cardiac arrest happens when your heart stops pumping blood around the body. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is then performed to keep blood and oxygen circulating in the body. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation machines have replaced manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation in many hospitals. However, there is not enough evidence to support or refute the routine use of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the treatment of cardiac arrest. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation in critical patients with cardiac arrest.

Who can participate?
Men or women aged over 18 with cardiac arrest.

What does the study involve?
Participants in the test group were treated with mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation; participants in the control group were treated with manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible benefit of participating is a better prognosis. The possible risk of participating is rib fracture.

Where is the study run from?
1. The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University
2. West China Hospital of Sichuan University
3. Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital
4. Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University
5. The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University
6. Zhejiang Hospital
7. The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University
8. The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhongshan University

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
From March to December 2013.

Who is funding the study?
National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China.

Scientific titleA multicenter study on the standardized application of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with cardiac arrest
Study objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation in critical patients with cardiac arrest.
Ethics approval(s)Medical Ethics Committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, 10/05/2013
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardiac arrest
InterventionFrom 01/03/2013 to 15/07/2013 patients with cardiac arrest underwent manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to international guidelines (control group). The CPR machine was introduced in our ICU in July 2013. Doctors and nurses in our ICU were trained how to use the CPR machine from 16/07/2013 to 15/08/2013. From 16/08/2013 to 31/12/2013 we used mechanical CPR devices for the treatment of cardiac arrest (test group).
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureSurvival rate for 4 hours after starting cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Secondary outcome measures1. Survival to hospital discharge
2. Neurological status among survivors - cerebral performance category at 4, 24 , 48 and 72 hours after starting cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Overall study start date01/03/2013
Completion date31/12/2013
