NCT00650962

Brief Summary

  1. 1.Pre-shock cardiopulmonary resuscitation might benefit the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac patients with ventricular fibrillation / ventricular tachycardia in a post-hoc analysis of a prehospital trial conducted in Europe (L.Wik,2002). However, it's effectiveness in the Asian countries, where most firstly recorded rhythm in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests patients were asystole/pulseless electric activity rather than ventricular fibrillation / ventricular tachycardia, were not explored yet.
  2. 2.This trial was designed to exam if pre-shock cardiopulmonary resuscitation by emergency medical technicians improves the outcome of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in an Asian metropolitan city.
