Continuous Compressions With Asynchronous Ventilations Using I-gel Device Versus 30:2 Approach During Simulated OHCA

Switzerland50 participantsStarted 2021-02-14

Plain-language summary

Paramedics and EMT will be recruited among four Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Switzerland to manage a 10-minutes simulation-based adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest scenario in teams of two. Depending on randomization, each team will manage the scenario according either to their current approach (30 compressions with 2 bag-mask ventilations), or to the experimental approach (continuous compressions since the start of CPR except for rhythm analysis and shock delivering, with early insertion of an i-gel® device to deliver asynchronous ventilations). The main hypothesis is that early insertion of i-gel could improve CCF during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with a reasonable time to first effective ventilation.
