NCT00763828

Brief Summary

The hypothesis of this study is that consciously sedated patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction can be rapidly and safely cooled to a state of therapeutic hypothermia (32 to 34 degrees C) using the LRS ThermoSuit System prior to percutaneous coronary intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Feasibility of use of cooling device as determined by ability and time to achieve target temperature and ease of maintaining temperature in therapeutic range (32 to 34°C) for three hours following removal of patient from ThermoSuit.

    Four hours

  • Primary safety endpoint: composite of serious adverse events including: death, re-infarction, ischemia-driven TVR, pneumonia, sepsis, arrhythmia, bleeding, stroke, and renal failure.

    30 days post-hospital discharge

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Major adverse cardiac events at 30 days as defined by death or non-fatal re-infarction. c. Ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.

    30 days post-hospital discharge

  • Myocardial infarct size at 30 days as measured by 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT imaging.

    30 days post-hospital discharge

  • Safety, including all-cause mortality, cardiac, vascular, and hematological complications.

    30 days post-hospital discharge

  • Adverse events associated with conscious sedation.

    30 days post-hospital discharge

  • Arterial blood pressure and heart rate every 5 minutes from the baseline just before the start of cooling until 30 minutes after cooling has started.

    One hour

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

ThermoSuit-Induced Patient Cooling

EXPERIMENTAL

The Life Recovery Systems ThermoSuit System will be used to cool STEMI patients under conditions of conscious sedation.

Device: Life Recovery Systems ThermoSuit

Interventions

Hypothermia induction (cooling to 32 to 34 degrees C core temperature) using the Life Recovery Systems ThermoSuit System (a device which cools patients using direct skin contact with cold water) followed by PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) and maintenance of hypothermia for 3 hours following PCI.

Also known as: Life Recovery Systems ThermoSuit(R) System
ThermoSuit-Induced Patient Cooling
