Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Single center randomized-controlled trial in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. This study will investigate the feasibility and utility of the Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) procedure using a REBOA catheter device in patients who have experienced an OHCA and have not regained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Victims arriving to, or experiencing witnessed Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) or Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) out of hospital cardiac arrest in, the UAB emergency department with greater than 10 minutes of conventional ACLS will be eligible. The study population will consist of forty (40) subjects randomized to either continued contemporary standard of care (ACLS), or ACLS plus the administration of a REBOA catheter device.

The aims of UPFRONT are:

1. To describe the feasibility of rapid deployment of a REBOA catheter device in the setting of OHCA
2. To evaluate the utility of a REBOA catheter device to achieve ROSC in the setting of OHCA.

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

NONE

None. Masking is not possible.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard Care

Participants randomized to this arm will receive standard care for cardiac arrest, which consists of advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS)

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Standard Care Plus Intervention

Participants randomized to this arm will receive standard care for cardiac arrest, which consists of advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) plus the study intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Apparent age between 18 - 70 years.
2. OHCA defined as receiving professional CPR or AED defibrillation
3. OHCA witnessed by bystanders or professional rescuers / UED personnel
4. VT/VF as the presenting rhythm for OHCA or clearly documented VT/VF during OHCA
5. Total time pulseless \> 10 minutes

Exclusion Criteria

1. Obvious Pre-existing neurocognitive impairment precluding independent activities of daily living
2. Obvious or suspicion of anatomic abnormality preventing successful deployment of REBOA device (i.e. previous vascular surgery in access region, dialysis graft, etc.)
3. Clear non-cardiac etiology (traumatic, hanging, overdose, etc.) of cardiac arrest
4. Do-Not-Resuscitate order or comfort care measures in place prior to enrollment
5. Special populations (pregnant, prisoner, or cognitively impaired)
6. Total time pulseless greater than 20 minutes
7. Inability to determine when cardiac arrest occurred (or for OHCA arriving to UED via EMS, time of 911 call) and the time elapsed since
