Summary

The goal of this study is to show the superiority in survival at hospital admittance and in neurological outcome on hospital discharge of continuous mechanical chest compression using LUCAS device versus manual chest compressions in patients who suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Detailed description

The primary goals of the trial are: * To show a survival increase at hospital admittance after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of patients treated by continuous chest compressions LUCAS device compared with patients treated by manual chest compressions. * To evaluate neurological outcome on hospital discharge, in two centres (Vall d'Hebron Hospital and Josep Trueta Hospital).

Conditions

• Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	LUCAS (Lund University Cardiac Assist Sysrem)	LUCAS device will be placed on patients suffering a cardiac arrest and continuous chest compressions will be performed, even while defibrillation is being applied
OTHER	Manual chest compressions	Manual CPR according to 2010 ERC guidelines will be performed
