Summary
This is a prospective observational study at St. Olavs hospital in Norway. Data are gathered from defibrillators that have been in use during resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Aim is to investigate the changes in electrocardiograms (ECG) during resuscitation from pulseless electrical activity (PEA), which is a type of cardiac arrest. ECG changes may be useful as a prognostic marker during resuscitation from PEA. In addition the researchers will describe the effect of adrenaline and chest compressions on clinical state transitions during resuscitation from pulseless electrical activity. Clinical state transitions are changes between different types of cardiac arrest. This study is expected to increase our understanding of the dynamics during treatment of cardiac arrest.
