NCT05192772

Brief Summary

Easy Care study wants to demonstrate a correlation between intra-CPR infrared quantitative pupillometry and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Neurological pupil index (NPi) will be used alone and in association with end-tidal CO2.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) prediction

    We are searching for possible correlation between pupillary reactivity (NPi) collected during resuscitation manoeuvres and ROSC. NPi is a numeric score ranges from 0 (unreactive pupils) and 5 (normal reflex).

    Variable because depends on the cardiac resuscitation manoeuvers lasting usually not more than 45 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Correlation of NPi and end tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and ROSC prediction

    Variable because depends on the cardiac resuscitation manoeuvers lasting usually not more than 45 minutes

  • Correlation between NPi and Neurological Outcome as Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    1 month, 6 months, 1 year

  • Correlation between NPi trend and ROSC

    Variable because depends on the cardiac resuscitation manoeuvers lasting usually not more than 45 minutes

  • Correlation between NPi trend and mRS in ROSC patients

    1 month, 6 months, 1 year

Interventions

NPi200DEVICE

Digital pupillometry performed during cardiopulmonary resuscutation (CPR) every CPR cycle end in case of not intubated patient, or every 2 minutes in case of intubated patient
