Brief Summary

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

The NEURESCUE device is the first intelligent balloon catheter for aortic balloon occlusion (ABO), an emergency technique that supercharges blood flow to the heart and brain within one minute from deployment.

The catheter-based device is delivered via the femoral artery, temporarily inflating a soft balloon in the descending to redirect blood flow towards the upper body.

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical safety and performance of Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) versus ACLS in combination with Aortic Balloon Occlusion (ABO) using the NEURESCUE device in subjects with cardiac arrest.

Detailed Description

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

Subjects will be randomized into two arms: ACLS treatment or ACLS + ABO treatment. Those in the ACLS treatment arm will receive standard of care treatment for cardiac arrest, while those in Arm 2 will receive ACLS in combination with ABO.

The NEURESCUE device is an aortic balloon catheter designed to temporarily occlude the aorta. During the treatment, the NEURESCUE Catheter will be placed in the descending aorta and be connected to the NEURESCUE Assistant. The NEURESCUE Assistant facilitates pressure-regulated inflation and deflation of the balloon.

Throughout the treatment, cardiac rhythm and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will be monitored.

The subject will be monitored for a total of 4 visits, where a 90-days follow-up will account for the last visit.

Study Groups

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

Arm 1 (Control)

Enrolled subjects randomized into Arm 1 will receive ACLS treatment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Standard of care Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) consists of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), airway management, ventilation and defibrillation.

Arm 2 (Intervention)

Enrolled subjects randomized into Arm 2 will receive ACLS treatment combined with ABO.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Standard of care Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) consists of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), airway management, ventilation and defibrillation.

Aortic balloon occlusion (ABO)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Aortic balloon occlusion (ABO) is a technique that diverts blood flow towards the coronary and cerebral circulation. ABO is investigated as an adjunct to the treatment of cardiac arrest.

In this study ABO is performed using the NEURESCUE Catheter, which is inserted through an introducer in the femoral artery, and thereby inserted into the aorta during uninterrupted Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). The balloon is then temporarily inflated as an adjunct to the treatment of cardiac arrest.
