Clinical Trial: Optimizing Ventilation to Improve Survival From Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest: the OPTIVO Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., March 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07479836) titled 'Optimizing Ventilation to Improve Survival From Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest: the OPTIVO Randomized Controlled Trial' on March 02.

Brief Summary: When the heart stops pumping during cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is used to continue pushing blood and providing oxygen to vital organs. CPR involves a combination of chest compressions (to push the blood) and ventilations (to provide oxygen and gas exchange). There is a lot of research that has helped to optimize the provision of chest compressions, however there is considerably less research available to guide ventilations. The current guideline recommendations ...
